Membership in this honored chapter is reserved for juniors and seniors who rank in the top 20 percent of their class with at least a 3.5 GPA and have completed at least 30 credit hours at Columbia College toward their business administration degree. Sigma Beta Delta exists to encourage and recognize scholarship and achievement among students of business.

"It is a privilege to honor these outstanding business students and recognize their high academic achievement,” said campus director Rebecca Gordon-Bocklage. “Columbia College–Jefferson City is proud of the educational standards upheld by our institution. These individuals have shown mastery in their coursework, and it is a true testament of their ability.”

Established in 1974 at the National Guard Armory, Columbia College-Jefferson City started serving the civilian population in 1982. The campus has resided at its current location on Emerald Lane since 2000, and today continues to serve civilian and military adult learners in the Jefferson City area.
