• Provide a reference from at least one College of Business faculty member, to be collected during the application process.
• If you have any questions about your eligibility or the application process, please contact Dr. Anuradha Basu or Dr. Nathaniel Lupton.

• Minimum GPA: 3.25 in upper division (100 and above) business courses, including 100W and Business Ethics (186).
• Junior or Senior standing (have completed at least one semester at SJSU).

SGIL students will normally be admitted to the program only in the fall semester. Applications to start the sequence in the spring semester are normally accepted only for students graduating in the next two semesters, and the admissions criteria are usually more strict than for students entering the program in the proper sequence.

If you are not sure whether (or when) you are eligible to apply for the Business Honors Program, feel free to contact one of the honors faculty.

An information night for prospective students is held each semester. Find the date and time for the current semester on the Business Honors Main Page.
