Abstract
This chapter discusses the role of honors education programs in advancing the university education standards in general and the quality of business education in particular. Given the current reality of evolutionary and revolutionary forces (i.e., educational technologies, knowledge economies, globalization, diversity, and stakeholder orientations), educational institutions of all categories and especially institutions providing higher education are in the search of innovative, demanding, and premium educational models for their talented and academically superior students. Developing an honors education program as an educational model or strategy at any level of the university in general, and at a bachelor level in particular, definitely provides opportunities to a relatively large number (approximately 10% of the campus population) of students who are naturally motivated and high performing to further enhance their potentials and competencies. More than that, it helps establish a challenging and exemplary educational environment for students, faculty, academic managers, and policymakers.
