The Honor System

As MBA students, you are embarking on one of the most exciting and challenging two years of your lives. One particularly rewarding and challenging aspect is the reinforcement of your own sense of personal integrity and honor.

The current McCombs School Honor System articulates the baseline of acceptable conduct in the MBA Program. Please read it carefully.

The graduate curriculum is extremely demanding; it requires one not only to be efficient, but also to be highly resourceful in order to excel. Furthermore, we recognize that life as a student at McCombs is fast-paced and often confusing. The Honor System, therefore, should serve not only as a document from which you can draw guidance, but also as an unequivocal statement of what is and is not acceptable behavior.

Additionally, since this is a value-adding aspect of your education, corporate recruiters will recognize the importance we place on individual integrity. This is one reason for the increasing demand for, and greater respect accorded to, graduates of The McCombs School of Business. The Honor System, however, is only a piece of paper until you apply your personal integrity and assume responsibility for the ethical climate of the MBA Program.
