The Smith Scholars Program is a Williams College of Business undergraduate, cohort honors program. Smith Scholar students begin as freshmen an intensive program that integrates the study of the liberal arts with the WCB core curriculum in a rigorous, purposeful, and innovative manner. Smith Scholars study selected liberal arts courses in the core curriculum as a cohort immersing these students in a coherent curriculum comprised of foundational texts in the areas of philosophy, law, theology, history, and economics. They also study as a cohort a range of courses in the business curriculum. Building upon this foundation, Smith Scholars complete courses leading to a minor in Political Economy . The minor is designed to engage Smith Scholars in a rigorous examination of economic theory and its applications, the legal and regulatory environment of business, and the financial markets that integrate these forces. Smith Scholars are required to major in one of the WCB’s degree programs
