Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest national recognition a student can receive in an undergraduate or master’s program in business or management accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.  To be eligible for membership, a student must rank in the upper seven percent of the junior class, upper ten percent of the senior class, or upper twenty percent of the graduation master’s class.

History

Beta Gamma Sigma was founded as a national organization in 1913.  To establish and maintain an active Beta Gamma Sigma chapter, an institution must be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the accrediting agency for bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in business and accounting founded in 1916.  The Whittemore School of Business and Economics achieved accreditation in April 1994.
