Phi Beta Kappa Beta of Michigan Chapter Albion College

Election Criteria

To be eligible for election to Phi Beta Kappa at Albion college a student must meet the following criteria:

1. Must be a senior in the top 10 percent of the graduating class.

2. Three-fourths of the courses taken must be in liberal studies, as contrasted with those that are primarily training.

3. At least 15 units must be taken in departments other than the department of the principal major. Work taken in off-campus programs, which parallels the type of work offered in an on-campus department, will be treated as work in that department.

4. Either 15 units while holding third-or fourth-year status, or a minimum of 22 1/2 units, must be taken for credit at Albion College. In either case, the units taken at Albion College may include one or two semesters of study in faculty-approved off-campus programs.

5. A minimum of 75 percent of the student's liberal arts courses at Albion College, including those taken in faculty-approved off-campus programs, must be taken for a grade.

The fulfillment of these minimum requirements does not guarantee election to Phi Beta Kappa.
