Department of Business

3 reasons to pursue your bachelor’s degree in business at Northwestern:

  • You need more than business savvy to succeed. At NWC, you’ll not only get a business degree, you’ll also develop the character and leadership qualities you’ll need to thrive in business by integrating biblical principles and ethics in all courses.
  • Accelerate your path to internships and jobs. The Twin Cities of Minnesota is a hub of headquarters—from 3M and Best Buy to General Mills, Medtronic and more! The connections of our professors and alumni mean regular visits to major corporations and learning from their business leaders.
  • Reputation makes a difference. The Northwestern College Department of Business has a strong reputation for excellence among top corporations—employers consistently rate our students highly and each year several of our business majors are offered positions before graduation!

The Department of Business equips students to be God-honoring leaders in business and in life.

At Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minnesota, we believe the business world is a great opportunity for Christian men and women to apply their talents and be an influence for Jesus Christ.

"The Best Decision"
