Graduate with Honors
To graduate with honors, you must earn a specified GPA in ALL THREE of the following areas: 1) overall UF GPA, 2) business core GPA, and 3) major or area of specialization GPA (see table). In addition, students who wish to graduate magna and summa cum laude must write an honors thesis (see below for thesis guidelines). Tip: Your honors thesis can also serve as a University Scholars Program research project!
