About the College of Business
Regardless of the industry, location or type of organization, a business degree has practical value that will prepare you to enter or advance your career in business administration, accounting, marketing or management. NNU’s College of Business offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees and is internationally accredited. It is led by professors who have earned doctorates and have industry experience. Unlike some universities, at NNU your business law class will be taught by a professor who has also practiced business law. Your accounting class will be taught by someone who has been an accountant. This ensures that you receive the most practical, relevant instruction you need to succeed in the business world. Here at NNU, there are opportunities to network and to practice what you are learning in the classroom through internships, various business clubs, and competitions.
Program Outcomes
Since 1997, graduating seniors from the undergraduate programs have consistently placed in the 90th percentile or higher on the major field test in business. The College of Business is also one of the few Pacific Northwest universities to hold international business accreditation through the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.
