Benefits

Access to firms

Because of the special relationship Beta Alpha Psi has with employers, membership in provides unique and exclusive access to firms, both furthering your outside-the-classroom education and providing excellent networking opportunities. Through Professional Meetings and Professional Trips, members and pledges can meet with firms earlier and more frequently, increasing their visibility to recruiters and connections with professionals. 

Events are meant to expose members to both public accounting and corporate accounting. Therefore, BAP seeks not only to facilitate students' connections with possible future employers, but also to expose members and pledges to the information essential in choosing the accounting path for them.

 
BAP members and pledges volunteer and run in a local charity 5K.
