Beta Gamma Sigma Website is the honor society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International. 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. Membership is always a welcome addition to a student’s resume.
The CSUSB chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma was chartered in 1995. On our ten year anniversary a bronze alloy BGS Key Sculpture, the symbol of academic excellence, was dedicated in front of Jack Brown Hall by then President Albert Karnig. During the 2005-2006 academic year, CSUSB’s BGS chapter was the first CSU ever to be honored by Beta Gamma Sigma International as an Exemplary Chapter and we earned “Honors” from BGS Headquarters in 2017 & 2018!
