Beta Sigma Kappa

Beta Sigma Kappa (BSK) is an International Optometric Honor Society, which serves more than 2,300 active members worldwide. The mission of BSK is to stimulate scientific achievement, academic excellence, and the ethical practice of optometry; and to promote and provide financial support for worthy research projects relating to vision care and the eyes. Membership in BSK is yearly, and eligibility is based on academic grade point averages. The goal of the Berkeley chapter of Beta Sigma Kappa is to help optometry students achieve academic and clinical success through our tutoring service. In order to provide enough tutors, BSK requires its second-year and third-year active members to complete 2 hours of tutoring to underclassmen per semester. These hours can be fulfilled by tutoring for didactic courses and clinical skills, participating in BSK-sponsored events, or contributing to BSK-sponsored academic resources for students.
