BHP at UT Austin

Congrats to all - who got in BHP! My son looking to apply next year.

Q. Do you have to apply to regular McCombs Business even if you are only interested in the BHP program? Concern is - if you apply for McCombs also, does it Not give the administration an out by offering you McCombs rather than BHP? I know that McCombs is ranked but how much better is BHP compared to regular Business degree from McCombs? thx.

@kg2013 when applying to BHP, the schools provides clear instructions that you must indicate Undecided Business as your first choice major. Applicants are first admitted into McCombs and then into BHP. BHP provides a different experience from McCombs…not necessarily better, just very different. BHP is similar to a very small MBA experience - the BHP website has a wealth of info about these differences. This is the right fit for some students while McCombs fits others better.

Thank you!
