The Department of Business Administration is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

The Department sponsors a chapter of Delta Mu Delta (DMD), the National Honor Society in Business Administration, founded in 1913 to promote higher scholastic achievement in business subjects. Business majors who have attained a 3.5 grade point average are invited to become members of DMD in their junior and senior years. DMD initiates are honored at the annual alumni dinner hosted by the Business Administration department. Delta Mu Delta membership provides recognition of academic excellence, networking opportunities, and lifelong contacts through the Delta Mu Delta newsletter. Dr. John Egan is the coordinator for the Delta Mu Delta chapter at NJCU. He can be reached by email at jegan@njcu.edu.

Business Administration students and other members of the campus community may join the Business Society, an umbrella organization created in part from the membership of the separate business clubs. The Business Society crosses over the functional areas of business, bringing together all individuals who have an interest in the global business community. The Society’s mission is to create opportunities to expand the members’ knowledge of the business world; establish student interaction with the community; provide occasions to meet and hear professionals in various fields; and encourage students to develop professionalism, leadership skills, and industry contacts. Like its predecessor clubs, the Business Society sponsors guest lecturers, field trips, job search activities, and mentoring programs. While all Business faculty are members and advisors to the Society, the primary faculty advisors are Professors Craven, Nass, and Ramos-Alexander. For current information about the Society, contact one of them or visit the Business Society web site at http://www.njcu.org.

The Business Administration Department annually participates in the Volunteers for Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, providing free tax preparation assistance to members of the community who do not have access to paid preparers. Recently the department established a chapter of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), a national organization that promotes competition among student teams engaged in the solution of business problems.
