Accounting and Finance
The Honors Program is an experiential learning opportunity in which students will apply their learning from their major and their concentration to tackle real-world projects with one of our Business Honors Program partners. This course provides an applied practical experience under the supervision of a faculty member for students admitted to the Honors Program. This will involve a team of students working with a Silicon Valley company on a project, in which the team will directly create value for the firm. Participating client organizations will sponsor a team of capable and motivated Accounting and Finance students to work on a collaboratively defined strategic project which will have measurable outcomes and deliverables. Students will be given the autonomy to define the roadmap, timeline, and milestones for achieving agreed-upon goals. At the conclusion of the semester, student teams will present their findings and recommendations to the leadership team from the sponsoring organization.
Honors students will:
- Get exposure to leading companies, executives, and organizations in Silicon Valley
- Collaborate with other honors students across disciplines
- Develop leadership and professional skills while getting hands-on experience and building a professional network
- Hear from top leaders in Silicon Valley and around the world throughout the semester
- Network with Honors peers across departments in the College of Business
- Have the opportunity to earn departmental honors
