Overview

What is the Bulls Business Network (BBN)?

The Bulls Business Network, an organization for high-achieving first-year students, provides an avenue for aspiring business students to enjoy early admission to the business program, provides special registration and advising opportunities, and promotes events and activities designed to help build a small community within the larger USF family.

Benefits of the Bulls Business Network

Select freshman are accepted directly into the Muma College of Business based on their high school GPA and SAT or ACT test scores, while the majority of students are not fully admitted to the college of business until after they complete their first two years of general course requirements. BBN students take the same classes as their non-BBN peers, but enjoy several benefits as a result of the BBN membership:

• Muma living-learning communities - living-learning experience
  BBN members are eligible for the Bulls Business Community or the Zimmerman Advertising Program, two residential programs where students can live with their peers who are not only in similar classes, but have commons goals and interests.
• Registration perks
  BBN students have an opportunity to avoid mass lecture classes. Smaller sections of business classes are reserved exclusively for BBN members each semester.
• Access
  Students in the BBN may apply for special Muma scholarships and may join business student organizations normally open only to juniors and seniors.
• Business Honors Program
  Members of the BBC or ZAP living-learning communities can also apply to be a part of the highly selective Business Honors program. This prestigious program inspires passion and nurtures exemplary potential in students by blending rigorous coursework and research activities with special residential, service, international, and applied learning opportunities found inside and outside of the classroom.

Membership Criteria

Membership is automatic and restricted to incoming first time in college students who have met the following criteria:
