Chung Yuan Christian University officially established the BGS Chung Yuan Chapter in September 2016. Only schools that have been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) are eligible to form a chapter. The mission of BGS is to encourage and celebrate academic achievements in business, foster leadership and professional development among members, and increase the value of the BGS organization while serving its lifelong members.
This year, there are a total of 80 honorary members, including 78 students and 2 faculty members, an increase of 44 members from the previous year. The Chung Yuan Chapter recognizes students based on their academic performance. Students who are eligible for invitation are those in the College of Business who are in their third year or above, with an academic standing in the top 10% of their class or department for undergraduates, top 20% for graduate students, and those who have passed the qualifying exams for doctoral candidates. Due to the outstanding performances of many of Chung Yuan’s teachers and students, the Chung Yuan Chapter has been awarded 5 Highest Honors and 1 High Honors certificate by the BGS headquarters between 2016 and 2022. The addition of new members is expected to further elevate Chung Yuan’s reputation, making it shine on the global stage!
