Beta Alpha Psi - Admission Requirements

Admission Requirements

In order to become a part of Beta Alpha Psi, students must be invited to join by the local chapter at the university they attend, and they are required to meet various requirements. Beta Alpha Psi establishes these requirements as the minimum for eligibility to election as a pledge, though a chapter can set stricter requirements:

• Declaration of an academic major in accounting, finance, or information systems
• Annual payment of a membership fee
• Completion of at least one year of courses at the collegiate level (30 semester hours or equivalent)
• Maintenance of a GPA of 3.0 (where an A is equal to 4.0)

A separate set of requirements is set for election to membership, including:

• Declaration of an academic major in accounting, finance, or information systems (or have stated an intention to declare a concentration in accounting, finance, or information systems)
• Completion of two years of collegiate courses and at least one upper level course beyond the business core (for transfer students, the most recent qualifying course must be at an AACSB- or EQUIS-accredited institution)
• Maintenance of a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in upper level courses of their declared major, beyond the business core; and
  • attainment of at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average, or
  • achievement of a rank within the top 35% of their university class, or
  • attainment of at least a 3.25 cumulative grade average on the most recently completed 30 semester hours
