Student Organizations
Accounting Honors
Most Accounting Honors students participate in student organizations. Student organizations are great for getting to get to know your classmates! They also offer many opportunities for leadership and fun.
The most important organization for Accounting students is a national honorary and service fraternity, Beta Alpha Psi. The OSU Omicron Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi hosted Burns Conference 2000, a meeting of Beta Alpha Psi students from across the country. OSU Beta Alpha Psi members planned the conference, which included discussions of how e-commerce is affecting the accounting profession. As student hosts, our Beta Alpha Psi members facilitated discussions and showed our guests around OSU.
In addition to Beta Alpha Psi, The Accounting Association and the Information Systems Association (ISA) are both popular groups among Accounting Honors students. These two groups feature speakers in weekly meetings and hold formal banquets and events for career networking. Speakers vary from company recruiters to practicing professionals.
Student organizations provide a way to get involved outside of the classroom. Add some extra value to an Accounting Honors education and get involved! Be sure to visit the student organization web sites or contact the student leaders for more information.
