Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at the Beta Alpha Psi weekly meetings
At our weekly meetings, we invite professionals to discuss a variety of topics (oil and gas industry, accounting busy season, financial services, etc..). This gives our members the opportunity to learn about the different career paths, ask questions to people currently working, and network with employers.
What types of companies/firms are connected with Beta Alpha Psi?
Our professional meetings are geared towards jobs within the accounting, finance, and operations fields. Additionally, Meet the Firms brings in typically 25-30 companies and firms. Visit our List of Employers and the Event Schedule for the semester.
What are the pledge requirements in order to become a full member?
In order to successfully pledge, you must attend a specific number of events. Visit our Participation Tracker to see the requirements and track your participation.
What is the difference between pledge and associate standing?
Pledge status allows you to become a member if you complete the requirements. As a member, your fees are lowered and you will be recognized as a full member of Beta Alpha Psi. Associate status is for students who have completed BCOR 2000, but not enrolled in ACCT 3220. This status allows you to attend meetings and events; however, there is no requirement to attend a specific number events. Associates may not record participation in Beta Alpha Psi on his or her resume. Students who are enrolled or taken ACCT 3220 may be an associate status if they would prefer (for reasons such as knowing that you will not be able to meet the pledge requirements).
I'm a transfer student and took my Intermediate Accounting course at a different university. Is this an Issue?
As long as the course is beyond introductory to accounting, it will count at the ACCT 3220 requirement. Feel free to ask our VP of Membership any personal questions about transcripts.
