The Mission of the International Honor Society Beta Gamma Sigma is to encourage and honor academic achievement in the study of business, to foster personal and professional excellence, to advance the values of the Society, and to serve its lifelong members.

History of the society

Beta Gamma Sigma was founded as a national organization in 1913 at the University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois and University of California.  With the global expansion of AACSB International, Society membership is no longer limited to those who have studied in the United States or Canada.

Beta Gamma Sigma continues to recognize the most outstanding students of business and management.  With more the 95 years  honoring academic excellence, the Society knows that its membership of more than 580,000 comprises the brightest and best of the world’s business leaders.
