Student Organizations

Carthage business students can enrich their studies by getting involved in a number of student organizations dedicated to supporting business students, exploring future careers and celebrating student achievement. These organizations give business students the opportunity to practice what they've learned in the classroom.

Carthage Accounting Association

The Carthage Accounting Association sponsors field trips and speakers, hosts resume workshops, and organizes volunteers for income tax preparation assistance. The association works to develop community contacts and enhance the education of accounting majors outside the classroom.

Business Honors Society

The Business Honors Society is a pace-setting organization for business students with a 3.2 GPA or higher. Students practice management and leadership skills, meet business executives, and gain experience that will enhance a future career in the business world.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistant, or VITA

VITA is an IRS program that offers free tax help to low- to moderate-income people who cannot prepare their own tax returns. Students who want to volunteer for VITA must complete training and take a certification test. Students then spend a day or two gaining valuable knowledge in preparing tax returns as they perform an important community service.

Pi Sigma Epsilon

Pi Sigma Epsilon is the only national professional co-ed sales and marketing fraternity. Since 1952, PSE has served more than 50,000 members nationwide. Members acquire professional skills and gain practical experience through their active involvement in implementing projects. The annual National Convention provides opportunities to network and learn. PSE welcomes all majors because professionals in all fields must learn to sell their ideas.

Students in Free Enterprise

SIFE, open to all majors, works throughout the year on projects in six categories: Market Economics, Success Skills, Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy, Business Ethics, Environmental Sustainability, and Sustainability. SIFE encourages active hands-on learning, teamwork, leadership development, communication, enhancement and educational growth. An annual Regional Competition provides the opportunity for every SIFE organization within the region to present what they have achieved throughout the year.

Financial/Investment Club

The Finance & Investment Club (FIC) aims to develop students’ financial skills, introduce students to financial instruments, connect students to internship and career opportunities, and encourage students to manage their income effectively now and in their futures. FIC educates students on the basics of financial planning and the wide variety of financial instruments available in the market today. FIC also introduces students to investing by using an investment simulator to give a real-world experience.
