Beta Alpha Psi introduces students to accounting professionals from CPA firms, industry, and government. Activities include:
The fraternity hosts an annual “Meet the Firms” event that affords all accounting majors the opportunity to meet with recruiters in a casual setting. This event is followed by the annual golf tournament, “Beat the Firms,” which is open to professionals, faculty, and fraternity members. Fraternity members regularly attend regional and national Beta Alpha Psi meetings, and in 2002, co-hosted (with Mississippi State University) the Southeast Regional meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. The fraternity is open to Accounting majors with an overall GPA and accounting GPA of 3.0 or higher. The faculty advisor is Dr. Paula B. Thomas.

Institute of Management Accountants
The Institute of Management Accountants has an active chapter on the campus of MTSU. The chapter is currently supervised by Dr. Jeannie Harrington. This group holds bi-weekly meetings which frequently feature outside speakers. The chapter also meets once a semester with the Nashville IMA chapter, where students have an opportunity to meet with professionals attending the meeting as well as to hear speakers. The association between the MTSU chapter and the Nashville chapter facilitates the corporate match-up program, whereby students are given the opportunity to go to an IMA member’s office and observe their daily work. The chapter also tours businesses on a regular basis. Previous tours have included the Dell and Aladdin Manufacturing facilities in Nashville.
