"Alpha Epsilon Delta is the National Health Preprofessional Honor Society dedicated to the encouragement and recognition of excellence in preprofessional health scholarship, including medicine, dentistry, veterinary, and others. The Society welcomes ALL students engaged in the pursuit of a professional healthcare career. AED offers opportunities for intellectual and professional development, provides a forum for students with common interests, and extends a program of service to benefit the college/university community." (Quote from the National AED Website)

Nationally, admittance into AED requires a 3.2 overall and science GPA along with the completion of at least three semesters of preprofessional health coursework. 


Upon initiation, AED members at BSC are required to attend a minimum of three AED-sponsored speakers each semester.  In addition, members are also required to attend all AED meetings and participate in at least one AED-sponsored community service project each semester.  If a member is unable to attend a mandatory function, he or she must seek approval through the chapter secretary prior to the event in order to be excused.
