Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½

BBA Scholars are pre-selected for Cox admission based on their application for admission to Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½ and academic performance prior to entering Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½. This program includes the top tier of business students. Fall 2025 BBA Scholars had an average SAT of 1525, average ACT of 34 and very competitive grades in the most rigorous curriculum at their high school. Students are notified of their selection for the BBA Scholars Program shortly after receiving acceptance to Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½ in their senior year of high school. As BBA Scholars, they participate in the normal Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½/Cox curriculum, but have the added advantages of a Cox Scholarship, Cox admission in the first year and early access to Cox Advising & Career Services opportunities.

BBA Scholars Have:

• Outstanding academic achievement,
• Outstanding SAT/ACT scores,
• Strong leadership skills,
• Strong letters of recommendation, and
• Compelling essays

Approximately 100 students enter Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½ as BBA Scholars each year. All students who apply with business as their primary academic interest are automatically considered for the BBA Scholars program; no separate application is required. Students are only invited to join the BBA Scholars program at the point of first year admission.

Scholars come from across the U.S. and from other countries, and represent the strongest business applicants in the incoming class. The BBA Scholars program is a Cox specific program separate from the University Honors Program. Most BBA Scholars participate in Ë®¶à¶àµ¼º½’s study abroad programs, pursue double majors and minors in other academic fields, and are members of the University Honors Program.
