Beta Gamma Sigma

Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International. (http://www.betagammasigma.org)

Membership Requirements

To be eligible for membership, the academic ranking of those being considered must place them:

In the upper 10% of the second semester junior class;
Upper 10% of the senior class; or
Upper 20% of the graduating masters class.

BGS membership places one among a very select group. Of those in the U.S. who receive baccalaureate or masters degrees in business each year, only eight percent earn lifetime membership.
