Student Groups

Accounting faculty sponsor two students organizations which provide many opportunities to meet professionals, learn more about accounting, and develop leadership skills.

Bradley Accounting Club

The Bradley Accounting Club (BAC) is an organization for students interested in accounting. Its purpose is to help members gain knowledge of specific accounting careers, obtain onsite experience through job shadowing and group visits to companies and foster good relations through social events and networking

Beta Alpha Psi

Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) is an honorary organization open to juniors, seniors, and graduate students. The primary objective of Beta Alpha Psi is to encourage and give recognition to scholastic and professional excellence in the business information field. This includes promoting the study and practice of accounting, finance and information systems; providing opportunities for self-development, service and association among members and practicing professionals, and encouraging a sense of ethical, social, and public responsibility.

Bradley University's Beta Alpha Psi chapter (Zeta Lambda) was chartered in 1981. Since its organization, the chapter has received numerous awards from the Beta Alpha Psi national office, e.g. "Superior Chapter"; "Distinguished Chapter"; and "Most Improved Chapter in the Nation".

Activities of the Zeta Lambda Chapter include frequent meetings with accounting professionals in order to learn more about the profession. The Chapter also participates in regional and national Beta Alpha Psi activities. Students gave presentations at the 2007, 2008, and 2009 Midwest Regional Meetings. Students also presented at the 2007, 2008, and 2009 Beta Alpha Psi annual meetings. The Zeta Lamba Chapter co-hosted the 2007 BAP Annual Meeting and the 2009 Midwest Regional Meeting.

Members of the Zeta Lambda Chapter also participate in community service activities. Recently, the group tutored students taking principles of accounting courses, provided accounting services at Bradley's Relay for Life event, and raised $700 for the Race for the Cure.
