PC Welcomes Business Honor Society
Presbyterian College’s Department of Economics and Business Administration has formed a local chapter of the Sigma Beta Delta International Business Honor Society. The Presbyterian College chapter inducted its first charter members on March 10, 2010. Approximately ten years ago, Sigma Beta Delta was created as a business honor society for institutions with regional accreditation. Sigma Beta Delta has now established over 248 chapters in 46 states, with one international institution. Sigma Beta Delta provides an opportunity for the faculty to confer on students at Presbyterian College, international recognition for their outstanding academic achievements in the school of business.
The purpose of the society shall be to encourage and recognize scholarship and accomplishment among students in the school of business, and to encourage and promote aspirations toward personal and professional improvement and a life distinguished by honorable service to humankind.
Candidates for bachelor and masters degrees in the school of business who rank in the upper 20% of their class at the time of invitation to membership may be inducted into membership following completion of at least one-half of the degree program in which they are enrolled. While almost 300,000 students receive bachelors or master’s degrees in business each year, only about 4,000 are inducted into lifetime membership in Sigma Beta Delta. Invitations to join Sigma Beta Delta will be sent out to those who qualify. The Department of Economics and Business Administration at Presbyterian College congratulates the twenty-two students who have accepted invitations to membership in 2010. They are as follows:
