Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE), the Computer Science honor society

Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE) is the first and only international honor society for the computing field in the world. UPE started at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas in 1967. There are chapters in various colleges and universities in North America and overseas. The mission of UPE is to recognize academic excellence at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in the computing discipline.

The Gamma Chapter of UPE at North Carolina A&T State University was established in 1993 becoming the third chapter in the state of North Carolina. Over the years the Chapter has inducted over 300 members. A computer science major is eligible to join UPE after completing freshmen and sophomore foundational courses and having at least a 3.0 overall GPA and a 3.2 major GPA.
