Business-Related Honor Societies

An honor society is a selective association of primarily collegiate members and chapters whose purposes are to encourage and recognize superior scholastic and/or leadership achievement in broad fields of education or in departmental fields at the undergraduate level. Qualified students from the Center for Business and Economics can participate in two business-related honor societies: Delta Mu Delta and Alpha Mu Alpha.
