Business Honor Society at La Roche Earns STAR Status
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 26, 2016 – For the second consecutive year, the Eta Psi chapter of Delta Mu Delta at La Roche University earned STAR chapter status from the International Honor Society in Business.
STAR Chapters meet and exceed the society’s standards for managing a chapter and its activities. Of the 300 chapters eligible each year, only a small portion meet the requirements for STAR recognition. La Roche also received this honor last year, which was the first time in 15 years that the chapter achieved international recognition as a STAR status chapter.
Primary Adviser and Management Department Chair Michaela A. Noakes said, “Delta Mu Delta membership is a result of La Roche’s accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). For the second time, we have achieved the prestigious recognition as a STAR status chapter.”
Student membership in Delta Mu Delta is the highest academic honor a business student can earn. Upperclassmen with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher are eligible to join. The organization promotes higher scholarship in developing business acumen and recognizes scholastic attainment in the business discipline. Student members become eligible for more than $60,000 annually in scholarship funds to continue or extend their education, and network with some of the principal business employers.
La Roche has a range of programs within its management division, offering double majors to its students at no additional tuition requirement. Undergraduate offerings include accounting, finance, international management, information systems technology, international studies, management information systems, leadership, applied sciences and marketing.
The University’s programs in management, finance, international management, accounting, marketing and management information systems are accredited through the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs, a leading specialized accreditation association for business education.
