Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for two-year colleges.

The Beta Alpha Epsilon chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (the international honor society for two-year colleges) was chartered at Landmark College in 1994. Since then, we have inducted more than 300 motivated students. To be considered for membership, students must have completed 12 credits hours of associate degree course work, with a grade point average of 3.5, and adhere to the school conduct code and possess recognized qualities of citizenship. A grade point average of 3.25 and adherence to the school conduct code are required to remain in good standing.

Phi Theta Kappa membership confers a lifetime honor - committing its members to the responsibilities of scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship. Membership also provides a valuable resource for obtaining scholarships and references for future educational and professional pursuits.

Beta Alpha Epsilon highly values engagement in the scholarship, leadership and service realms. Currently, Beta Alpha Epsilon has the distinction of being a 5-Star chapter. This represents the highest live of achievement in the Phi Theta Kappa Chapter Development Program. Beta Alpha Epsilon's recognition has resulted from scholarly efforts to research and bring community awareness to the issue of homelessness as part of their study of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Topic - The Paradox of Affluence. Additionally, in keeping with their commitment to service, members have dedicated themselves to organizing spring clean-up and fellowship dinners at the Morningside Homeless Shelter in Brattleboro, VT. In 2008 the chapter initiated the PTK@DCAS Extended Hours Program. Chapter members volunteer their time to provide students with a structured, quiet late night study environment by monitoring the Drake Center for Academic Support. Beta Alpha Epsilon members are committed meeting the Phi Theta Kappa challenge of Honors in Action through their scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship.
