The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation opened the door to Beta Gamma Sigma, the preeminent honor society for business programs accredited by AACSB International, and the Texas State BGS chapter was established in November 1997.
Q: How can Beta Gamma Sigma help a student reach their goals?
Q: How can Beta Gamma Sigma help a student reach their goals?
Beta Gamma Sigma is the international honor society for students enrolled
in AACSB-accredited business programs. Only five percent of business programs
world-wide are accredited by AACSB, which puts McCoy College of Business Administration in the top echelon of
business schools. Beta Gamma Sigma membership is the highest honor that we can
bestow upon our students. Being a BGS member shows that a student is “the best
in business” at his or her university, and many employers recognize the value of
hiring BGS members.
Q: What resource on campus do you recommend for students
to utilize?
We recommend that students take advantage of the many professional
development opportunities offered to them by student organizations, McCoy COBA
events such as Business Leadership Week, and guest speaker events.
Q: What makes Beta Gamma Sigma
special/unique?
Beta Gamma Sigma is unique among McCoy COBA student organizations because
it is the honor society for ALL business students across disciplines.
Q: How can students join Beta Gamma
Sigma?
Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is by invitation only. The top 10 percent
of seniors, juniors, and second-semester sophomores, and the top 20% of second
year graduate students are invited to membership each fall and spring. Invitees
pay a one-time lifetime membership fee, and then they are BGS members for life!
