BETA GAMMA SIGMA
Beta Gamma Sigma is the honor society for students
enrolled in business and management programs accredited
by AACSB-The International Association for Management
Education. Election to lifetime membership in Beta Gamma
Sigma is the highest honor a business student anywhere in
the world can receive from an undergraduate or master's
program at a school accredited by AACSB. Students, based
on high academic achievement, and tenured business
school faculty members are the only ones eligible for
membership in the Society. With more than 440,000 members worldwide, the Society's membership comprises
the brightest and best of the world's business leaders.
Membership is offered to the upper 7% of the juniors and
the upper 10% of the seniors enrolled in the school, and the
top 20% from master's programs, and all Ph.D. students
who have completed their programs in the last year.
Students invited for membership in Beta Gamma Sigma are
indicated by a b before their name on the list of graduates.
Beta Gamma Sigma membership provides recognition for a
lifetime. With alumni chapters in major metropolitan areas
across the United States and the BetaLink on-line
membership community, those recognized for their
academic achievements at the University of Minnesota can
continue an active relationship with Beta Gamma Sigma
long after graduation. This lifelong commitment to its
members' academic and professional success is defined in
the Society's mission: to encourage and honor academic
achievement in the study of business and personal and
professional excellence in the practice of business.
