About BAP
Beta Alpha Psi is a nonprofit international honorary and service organization for accounting, finance, and information systems students at The University of Tennessee. Beta Alpha Psi provides opportunities for development of technical and professional skills to complement university education; participation in community service; and interaction among students, faculty, and professionals. Chapter members and candidates are required by national bylaws to participate in certain activities during the academic year.
