professional hours
Each member and candidate must accumulate 24 hours of Professional Activities per year, 12 per semester. For some students weekly attendance is difficult, therefore several options are available that allow this requirement to be met. For every Professional Activity hour earned within Beta Alpha Psi, one Professional Activity hour can be earned at another professional meeting. Following is a listing of Professional Activities sponsored by Beta Alpha Psi:

Each pledge/member must earn 24 service hours over the school year, 12 hours per semester. Service can be performed outside Beta Alpha Psi, however, you can only earn a maximum of 5 outside service hours for the entire school year. Also, you must clear your outside hours with the BAP faculty advisor first. Each pledge/member must also serve on one committee.
