Many Northwestern undergraduates plan to pursue careers in business. Others, while not interested in business as a profession, seek an understanding of basic business principles to aid them in professional and personal decisions. Although Northwestern University does not offer a bachelor's degree in business, if you want to prepare for a business career, you will find a variety of undergraduate majors that provide excellent foundations. In addition, you should be aware that a good start in preparing for business school or personal business matters is learning how to think and write clearly, skills developed in every undergraduate major at Northwestern.
You can find extensive information on preparing for a career in business, including tips on ways to gain relevant skills and lists of relevant courses within various departments, in the Weinberg College Pre-Business Brochure.
