Welcome

Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most widely recognized academic honorary society in the United States. Its purpose is to honor outstanding student achievement in the liberal arts and sciences and to promote the importance of lifelong liberal arts and sciences education. Local chapters also connect members to engaging events.

Members are elected on the basis of outstanding scholarship in a broad liberal arts curriculum. The symbol of the society is the Phi Beta Kappa key, which traces its origins to the founding of the society in 1776.

Our local chapter engages with the Northern California Association on many activities. Congratulations to UCSC graduate students Thaïs Miller and Remy Nguyen, who won 2023 Phi Beta Kappa NCA Graduate Scholarships!
