Beta Alpha Psi
Accounting Association
Our chapter of Beta Alpha Psi strives to recognize outstanding academic achievements in the fields of accounting, finance, and information systems and to provide opportunities for selfdevelopment and association among members and practicing professionals. Established in 2016, the Nu Pi Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi is a part of an international honor organization with more than 300 chapters nationwide. Our chapter is currently eight years strong with a bright outlook for the next academic year as our membership and alumni base continue to grow year-on-year.
The Accounting Association provides opportunities for students to learn more about the accounting profession by facilitating the recruitment process. We invite Big Four, Midtier, local and industry firms to attend, present and network at club-sponsored events. By providing speaker presentations, firm tours, socials and other interactive events, the Accounting Association adds to the development of our members’ interests and knowledge.
Our ongoing goal for this school year is to provide more professional development opportunities for students and have our officer board provide one-on-one assistance. With the prestige associated with Beta Alpha Psi on their resumes, students may have many doors opened for them in the accounting profession. Additionally, as our eighth year as an official chapter, our goal for the upcoming year is to ensure our members continue to have an abundance of opportunities to network with firms and professionals. Furthermore, we are working on connecting our current active members and candidates with our alumni members to provide mentorship and networking opportunities. We are also looking to implement a new program which would foster a more social aspect to our chapter.
