Associated with the Economics Department are three undergraduate Student Associations which organize a number of activities, including visiting speakers, supporting students' job search, and maintaining links with employers. Most student associations are currently funded by dues collected from their members. Contributions to these associations would both support their activities and relieve the burden of dues assessed to members.

Accounting Association is a large student association on campus with approximately 250-300 members. The primary purpose of the association is to educate its members on the wide variety of career opportunities in the accounting industry and prepare them for the on-campus recruiting process. Each Wednesday, guest speakers discuss the latest in accounting from local, "Big 4," mid-size, government, and management accounting firms.

Business Economics Association prepares students for life after graduation by bringing successful companies to campus for lectures and for recruitment possibilities.

Latino Business Association is a sub-committee of EL CONGRESO and is affiliated with E.O.P. Their main goal is to prepare our members for the "working world." This includes those skills inherent in most working environments: leadership, organization, communication, networking, and teamwork to name a few. By becoming involved in their organization activities, they hope to assist their members in acquiring some, if not all, of these skills.
