OUR CHAPTER
Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) is an International Honors Organization for accounting students looking to make the most of their college career by seamlessly bridging the gap between academia and the professional world through extracurricular efforts. At Portland State University, the Epsilon Alpha Chapter activities are primarily geared towards accounting students and are planned to accomplish the following goals:
-
Help students build their professional skills.
-
Foster career interests by connecting academic preparation with the practice of accounting.
-
Provide an avenue for students to build relationships with accounting professionals.
BAP as Portland State provided students with unique opportunities to develop their leadership skills, expand their professional and peer networks, and begin their career ahead of the competition. We focus on the cultivation of a ‘leader-full’ organization, and believe that the facilitation of members’ personal growth is the most effective way our organization achieves its goals. Whether you want to gain professional development skills, network with employers, or find a community within the School of Business, there’s a place for you in Epsilon Alpha.
