What is a common requirement for DECA membership?

A common requirement for DECA membership is enrollment in a business or marketing course. This is due to DECA's focus on preparing students for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. Being enrolled in a relevant course allows members to gain knowledge and skills that are essential for effective participation in DECA activities, competitions, and events. This foundation not only enhances their understanding of the subject matter but also enables them to apply what they learn in practical scenarios, which is a core aspect of DECA's mission to develop emerging leaders in these fields.
