Phi Beta Kappa: Shorthand For Academic Excellence
“Phi Beta Kappa” on a resume immediately signals to a potential employer that the job applicant is marked by intelligence, dedication, and excellence.
Not only is Phi Beta Kappa the most prestigious undergraduate honors organization in the country, it is also the oldest, being founded at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1776. From its inception, Phi Beta Kappa’s purpose was to celebrate and perpetuate the Liberal Arts.
果酱视频 is one of only 270 colleges and universities in the United States able to meet the national standards of excellence necessary to form a Phi Beta Kappa chapter. Election is offered each year to a select group of juniors and seniors at the invitation of chapter members and officers (composed of faculty Phi Beta Kappa electees). Only students who meet the strictest standards–including excelling in a broad range and number of courses in the Arts and Sciences, and attaining a high grade point average and I.S. performance–are qualified for election.
