Beta Gamma Sigma is the international honor society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International. Each spring, LMU's College of Business Administration inducts a new class of members into Beta Gamma Sigma.
Founded as a national organization in 1913, Beta Gamma Sigma was a merger of three separate societies established to honor academic achievement in business at the University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois and University of California. As a truly global honor society in business and management, members of Beta Gamma Sigma today represent employees at more than 460,000 companies worldwide.
