Membership Guidelines

At UCCS College of Business, to be eligible for membership, the academic ranking of those being considered must place them in the upper ten percent of the baccalaureate degree graduating class or upper twenty percent of the master’s degree graduating class. While almost 300,000 students receive bachelor's or master's degrees in business in the U.S. each year, only about 19,000 students are elected to membership in Beta Gamma Sigma.

Students who meet eligibility for membership will receive a formal invitation from Beta Gamma Sigma in the graduating semester pending proper graduation checkout.
