Birmingham-Southern established a new chapter of the business honorary Beta Gamma Sigma, joining 375 other schools, all accredited in business through AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, that honor top students by inducting them into lifetime membership in the society. Election to Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest honor a business student can receive in an undergraduate or master’s program at a AACSB-accredited school. Birmingham-Southern is one of only six baccalaureate-liberal arts institutions in the country to hold both AACSB International accreditation and the designation of Phi Beta Kappa and one of only six to hold Phi Beta Kappa and house a Beta Gamma Sigma chapter.
Birmingham-Southern is listed as one of “100 Best Values in Private Colleges” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, highlighted for the excellent job it does in providing financial support for students of high academic, musical, and artistic ability.
The college is one of 100 schools nationwide on The John Templeton Foundation’s Honor Roll for programs that emphasize character building as an integral part of the college experience.
For the seventh consecutive year, the college is one of “America’s Best Christian Colleges” by Institutional Research and Evaluation Inc.
Birmingham-Southern is included among the 100 “Colleges Worth Considering” as compiled by Washington Post staff writer Jay Mathews. The list of “hidden gems” was compiled by Mathews based on an informal survey of high school counselors and teachers who were asked to submit information on schools that “their graduates rave about” and that are “under-appreciated.”
