Phi Theta Kappa
Beta Alpha Upsilon Chapter
The international honor society for two-year colleges, celebrating academic achievement, leadership, and service among CCBC’s top scholars.
A legacy of academic excellence
Phi Theta Kappa recognizes the academic achievements of college students and gives members the opportunity to grow as scholars and leaders. Founded in 1918, the society now has a presence on nearly 1,300 community college campuses across 11 nations. In 1929, the American Association of Community Colleges named Phi Theta Kappa the official honor society for two-year colleges.
More than 3.5 million students have been inducted since 1918, with roughly 250,000 active members in the nation’s community colleges today, making Phi Theta Kappa a true catalyst among members and colleges.
Membership opens the door to:
- Scholarships available only to PTK members
