The Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) Chapter at the Hull College of Business is part of an international honor society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International – the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The mission of BGS is to encourage and honor academic achievement in the study of business, to cultivate and celebrate leadership and professional excellence, to advance the values of the Society, and to serve its lifelong members.
Students are selected and invited to become lifetime members by the Hull College’s Chapter, with an induction ceremony to honor new members each spring.
