Membership

Membership in the Society is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a baccalaureate or doctoral program in business. With the global expansion of accreditation by AACSB International, membership is no longer limited to those who have studied in the U.S. or Canada. Some of the best students of business from across North America and around the world come together annually at the Beta Gamma Sigma Student Leadership Forum. Students work individually and as teams on a variety of exercises designed to prepare them for the transition from college to the professional world.

Membership Requirements

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

• In the upper 7 percent of the junior class

• upper 10 percent of the senior class or

• upper 20 percent of the graduating master's class (must have completed 18 graduate hours or more at UT Arlington)

• All students who have completed PhD program in Business Administration at UTA are invited to join BGS

Membership is by invitation only

Candidates will be invited using the above-mentioned membership requirements, calculated after the Fall and Spring census dates.

While almost 300,000 students in the U.S. receive baccalaureate or master's degree in business each year, less then 20,000 earn lifetime membership in Beta Gamma Sigma.
