Welcome
The Business Institutions Program is a part of the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern and is supervised by a faculty committee and chaired by the director, Mark Witte. The program office is located in University Hall, on Northwestern University's Evanston, Illinois campus.
Northwestern's minor program in business institutions in based on the assumption that the study of business can be approached through a thoughtful investigation of the cultural, political, philosophical, literary, and social sources and consequences of business institutions. Therefore the program is not intended to be preprofessional training or to function as a business concentration within any single departmental major. It is conceived as a broad, multidisciplinary perspective on a significant area of inquiry. Students who wish to pursue the minor in business institutions should be open to the intellectual approaches of many disciplines.
The Business Institutions Program is grateful for the support provided by Harvey Kapnick family, Robert P. Saltzman, Combe family, Chris Galvin Entrepreneurial award, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. and Household Finance Corporation. Contributions from these individuals and corporations have provided for classes, seminars, symposia, and other special events that enhance the Business Institutions Program. The Business Institutions Program adds a unique dimension to Northwestern University. These partners help keep our program vital and active. WE THANK YOU.
