Student activities are an integral part of the educational experience offered by our program. Unlike other universities, the ºÚÁÏÍø chapters of (BAP/AS) work together to serve their members. Through participation in BAP/AS, students are provided many and varied opportunities for peer interaction.

Besides meeting fellow students, these organizations allow students to interact with accounting professionals through lecture programs, on-site firm tours, community service programs and social functions. This interaction often aids BAP/AS members in finding employment during school (internships and part-time jobs) as well as after graduation.
