Delta Pi Epsilon (DPE) is a national graduate honorary Society committed to the professional development of educators in all business disciplines.  Members advance quality education and refine pedagogy though research and instructional development activities.

Our Mission

DPE promotes three ideals as symbolized by its name:

Delta - Scholarship
Pi - Leadership
Epsilon - Cooperation

DPE is founded on a shared sense of responsibility to improve the teaching of business through research, to develop leadership skills of members, to advance the profession through research and leadership activities, and to provide members with team-building and networking opportunities.

DPE works to advance our profession by taking pride in serving business students, meeting the interests of our members, creating position papers, holding panel discussions at professional meetings, sponsoring research activities, and representing our interests on policy-making boards such as PCBEE and JCEE.

Our society moves with focus—embracing change and seizing new opportunities—to reshape, guide, and sustain the dynamic nature of education for and about business.

We publish a refereed research journal focusing on empirical research, sponsor a national conference for research presentations, and support research projects. We offer research-training sessions at conference and chapter meetings.

Recognizing Quality Research

We sponsor a national dissertation award, a national master’s research award, and a national independent research award.

Disseminating Quality Research

We provide our members the results of quality research and improve the research skills of our members.

Improving Teaching

We publish a refereed journal related to effective teaching strategies.  We encourage our members to be innovative and creative members of the business education profession and to use research to create more effective instructional strategies.

Building Professionalism

We sponsor two refereed journals, on-going special publications, and a national research and teaching conference. We encourage professional involvement through national committee participation and chapter involvement.

Practicing Teamwork

We treat one another with respect—creating value by working together within and across the profession. We enthusiastically embrace teamwork.

Living up to these values is an ongoing challenge that we must strive to meet every day.
