Students of BHP are able to build strong relationships with professionals through our professional meetings. Guest speakers from an array of businesses are invited to these meetings to speak about their careers and personal experiences. Each meeting ends with an opportunity for students to network with the guest speaker(s).
Classroom Experience
The class experience is a key part of the development of BHP students. Business honors courses are implemented into the curriculum and promote a more holistic approach to learning through smaller and more interactive class settings.
These honors courses are taught by the most qualified business professors in the university and tackle modern topics and have many exclusive benefits such as:
- smaller class sizes (15-30 students)
- interactive lessons and activities
- tailored projects
Community Building
The Business Honors program is a diverse tight-knit community of like-minded individuals who support each other professionally and personally. BHPers have tons of opportunities to get to know and interact with fellow members, and many life-long friends and mentors are made.
Social events are set up throughout the semester for BHPers to mingle with each other and have a good time. Some of these social events include game nights, movie nights, top golf, going out to eat, and many more.
The annual new-members retreat is another opportunity for freshmen and transfer students to learn more about the program and each other. The retreat takes place in Black Mountain and offers many fun team-building activities such as zip-lining!
Community Service
Giving back to the community is a core value of the Business Honors Program; therefore, our members commit to completing at least two community service projects per semester.
We pride ourselves on being involved in a variety of non-profits within the Charlotte community. Here is a list of a few nonprofits we have worked with in the past:
- Second Harvest Food Bank
- Habitat for Humanity
- Charlotte ToolBank
It is our hope that even after graduating from BHP, students will continue to value volunteerism and social responsibility as they enter the workforce.
Professional Development
Professional development is a key component of BHP and one of the most valuable and rewarding aspects of the program. A plethora of opportunities allow students to develop professionally.
Professional Meetings are the main way BHPers can develop professionally. Guest speakers from various Charlotte companies share their personal experiences and professional advice. These meetings require professional attire and allow students to directly interact with businessmen and businesswomen in a professional setting.
Mock-interviews are another opportunity for BHPers to develop professional habits and experiences. This annual event invites a plethora of companies to perform mock-interviews with BHPers. This allows students to practice their interview skills and receive tips and tricks to outperform in an interview setting.
Other Benefits
Many other benefits are gained through the Business Honors Program.
Scholarship opportunities
Many scholarships can be awarded to BHPers. In fact, many scholarships are strictly offered to BHPers, allowing for a greater probability of receiving financial aid.
Priority registration
One of the perks of being an Honors Student at UNC Charlotte is the exclusive priority to register for classes. Being a member of BHP permits you to register for classes days before the main pool of students. This allows BHPers to secure certain classes before the time-sensitive regular registration.
Honors Lounge
Another perk of being an Honors Student at UNC Charlotte is the exclusive access to the Honors Lounge in Levine Hall, located in South Village. The Honors Lounge offers quiet study rooms and free printing!
