More U.S. college freshmen declare majors in business than in any other major. In 2008, 16.7% of incoming freshmen at four-year colleges or universities chose to major in business. That figure does not consider students who chose a business major at two-year colleges. (Source: //The American Freshman: National Norms for Fall 2008,// University of California at Los Angeles Higher Education Research Institute, [UCLA, 2008]).

Unfortunately, only a small percent of students have prepared for college business administration programs through high school business education and marketing education programs. This offers us an opportunity to prepare students to excel in college business programs.

The purpose of the High School of Business™ program is to offer college-prep students the opportunity to excel in a near college-level business administration program while still in high school. It offers challenging, rigorous courses through a program that provides both breadth and depth of business knowledge and bridges the gap between academic learning and how it is used to solve complex business problems.
