Make Your Degree Plan Your Own

The Business Honors major will give you a solid foundation in all business disciplines.

  • Double Majors Made Easier

    Most Canfield BHP students combine their Business Honors major with another major. You can easily add a second business major after your freshman year with us. If you want to add a major outside McCombs, our advisors will be happy to talk you through the process. Please note that to combine honors degree programs, you may need to apply as an incoming freshman.

Explore Common Double Majors

With Canfield BHP as a baseline major, your options remain flexible. Below are just a few of the more common options students select.

Another Business Major

This is the most common option our students choose. If you’re business through and through, dive in and study a specific business discipline. You can’t go wrong with what you pick, as no other business school has more top-10-ranked majors.

If you’re interested, look over a sample double major course sequence below.

Texas Honors Computer Science + Canfield BHP (Texas CSB)

This option is great for students who are savvy in both business and technology. We partnered with the Department of Computer Science to create an integrated dual-degree program that streamlines computer science honors and business honors curriculum, so you can complete both majors in less time.

If you’re interested, check out the Texas CSB website: csb.utexas.edu

Plan II Liberal Arts Honors + Canfield BHP

This option is perfect for students with diverse interests who would like to add rigorous liberal arts and science classes. This combination will strengthen critical and analytical skills, broaden problem-solving capabilities and writing skills. A capstone thesis is required for Plan II students.

If you’re interested, look over a sample double major course sequence below.
