Alpha Beta Kappa is the premiere national honor society for America’s private postsecondary schools, institutes, colleges, and universities. Alpha Beta Kappa places chapters in institutions which have demonstrated high standards over a period of many years in the education and training of women and men in the numerous fields, trades, and occupations essential to modern society. The purpose of the Society is to encourage and recognize superior student academic achievement, character, and leadership.

To be eligible for membership in The New England Institute of Art chapter, students must:

• be enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program;
• have completed at least one semester of coursework leading to a bachelor’s degree program (part-time students may be eligible);
• have an overall grade point average of 3.5;
• maintain an overall grade point average of 3.5;
• complete the Alpha Beta Kappa application by the published deadline, and
• adhere to the moral standards of the society.

Typically, both part-time and full-time students who have met all of the academic requirements are invited to become members.
