Beta

Sigma
Beta Gamma Sigma is the preeminent international honor
society in business. Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is
the highest recognition a business student can receive in an
undergraduate, master’s, or doctoral program at business
schools accredited by AACSB International—The Association
to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the premier
accrediting organization for business schools in the world.
The mission of Beta Gamma Sigma is to encourage and honor
academic achievement in the study of business and personal
and professional excellence in the practice of business. The
principles of Beta Gamma Sigma are represented by three
Greek words, the initials of which form the name of our honor
society: Beta (representing Honor), Gamma (representing
Wisdom), and Sigma (representing Earnestness).
To be eligible for membership, students are required to
demonstrate academic achievement by earning one of the
following academic rankings:
• The upper 10 percent of the junior class
• The upper 10 percent of the senior class
• The upper 20 percent of the graduating master’s class
• Completion of all doctoral requirements
