Management

What is the Honors Program?

The School of Management (SoM) offers an honors curriculum comprising two courses. Together they provide students with an integrated, balanced, and demanding learning experience.

The SoM Honors curriculum presents a unique learning opportunity combining rigor with practical experience. Students will have the chance to learn in small classes that enable faculty to provide a more personalized learning environment.

Over the course of two semesters, students will work with a team of highly motivated, high-achieving students on a "challenge" proposed by a non-profit organization. The challenge will be an organizational/managerial problem faced by the non-profit organization.

• Non-profit organizations are complex organizational environments where two sets of objectives (economic and social) coexist.
• Non-profit organizations can have an immediate benefit from improved managerial and organizational processes.
• Non-profit organizations are important for the community in San Jose and beyond, contributing to their success is meaningful to all.

In the Fall, each team analyzes the organizational context and comes up with initial ideas on how to address the identified issues; during the Spring, each student team refines and implements the solution (or a prototype of it) in the non-profit organization.

The Sbona Honors Program will help students grow into more flexible and rigorous thinkers and provide valuable experience dealing with real business problems. Completing the program will certainly set students apart from other students in the job market.
