Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma provides lifetime recognition for students of business and management in schools accredited by AACSB International. It is the highest recognition a student anywhere in the world can receive in a program accredited by AACSB International. Simply put, members elected to Beta Gamma Sigma are truly the “Best in Business."
Membership invitations into Beta Gamma Sigma are very limited. You can be invited in two ways:
