professional hours
Each member and candidate must accumulate 20 hours of Professional Activities. The 20 hours are earned during the school year with 10 of the hours being accumulated during fall 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:

Service activities
There is a Service Activity hour requirement that is identical to the Professional Activity hour requirement. Each pledge/member must earn 20 service hours over the school year. Ten of these hours must be earned in the fall semester. Service can be performed outside Beta Alpha Psi, however these hours are earned on a one-to-one ratio. For every outside service hour you must have a Beta Alpha Psi hour. Each pledge/member must also serve on one committee. Following is a list of Service Activities that will be sponsored by Beta Alpha Psi. The hours are approximate as involvement varies.
