Which Institutions Are Eligible?

Higher education institutions (e.g., colleges & universities) with a regionally or nationally accredited CBL program are eligible to join Chi Beta Lambda & operate a chapter. We hope to work with high schools in future years once we are able to expand the scope of our operations.
Chapter Flexibility
We encourage institutions that offer CBL learning models to establish Chi Beta Lambda chapters to enhance those programs’ value. When people dedicate their time and energy to something, it can become a great source of pride. Thus, it is incredibly rewarding when our hard work, effort, and achievements are recognized. Our chapters can be leveraged to improve satisfaction among learners & educators alike.
Forming chapters can facilitate cohesion that is often missing from alternative education programs. These virtual groups can serve as a space for CBL students to engage with the school and their peers. We understand the social needs of CBL students are very fluid, so chapters are advised to tailor operations to fit their organization. Some schools may choose to hold meetings and events, while others may not.

Institutional Benefits
- Outwardly define the character of your institution. Schools that support us acknowledge that CBL programs can be far more challenging than conventional instruction and firmly believe excelling under such conditions is remarkable.
- Show appreciation within your organization. Member institutions can nominate faculty for their professional and academic contributions to CBL.
- Celebrate CBL achievements at commencement. Students and faculty members can wear official Chi Beta Lambda regalia to graduation.
- Enrich the CBL experience. Our chapters are a great way to offer support and engage your CBL population. Feel free to start fresh with Chi Beta Lambda or integrate us into something you are already doing.
- Bypass the inherent headaches of student groups. We want this to be easy. Chi Beta Lambda does not impose rigid sponsorship stipulations.
- Gauge satisfaction among CBL learners & educators. External feedback collected by Chi Beta Lambda provides a macro perspective of the CBL experience for multi-school comparison.
- Eliminate doubt surrounding the reputation of alternative programs. Reassure current & prospective students that CBL degrees are professionally & academically respectable, worthy of pursuing.
