Alpha Beta Kappa
National Honor Society
Established September 23, 1977
Since 1995, the New England School of Communications® has participated in the Alpha Beta Kappa Honor Society,
a national society which recognizes and acknowledges outstanding
graduates of private career colleges and schools. Membership
qualifications include a GPA of 3.5 or above, excellence in the
classroom, studio and laboratory work, leadership and service in class
and school activities, personal integrity and good moral character.
The fact that an individual is elected to membership in this honor
fraternity sets her or him apart as an exemplar of personal integrity
and excellence.
Alpha Beta Kappa is the only Honor Society in the arts, sciences,
trades, business, technical and general studies. Alpha Beta Kappa
places Chapters in Nationally accredited institutions which have
demonstrated high standards over a period of several years in the
education and training of women and men in the numerous fields, trades
and occupations essential to modern society. The major purpose of the
Society is to encourage and recognize superior student academic
achievement, character and leadership.
