Management

Why choose management at North Central College?

Now more than ever, we can’t tackle complex management challenges with business solutions alone. North Central faculty understand that. They use innovative teaching techniques, sometimes drawing from fields as diverse as mythology and neuroscience, to illuminate business concepts and show you how viewing problems from multiple perspectives can lead to creative solutions. You’ll learn to get things done efficiently and effectively, whatever the challenge and wherever you work—in nonprofit, for-profit, technical or governmental arenas.

You can also:

Gain professional experience, put your skills to the test and compete with award-winning teams by joining the American Marketing Association or Enactus.
Find competitive internships and job opportunities through faculty and alumni networks or through our Career Development Center.

Ultimately she hopes to work at a small liberal arts college "just like North Central."

Katherine Hoekstra

Management and Entrepreneurship/Small Business Managment double major

After taking a management course, Katherine began to see the business world as a blank canvas, waiting for her to make her mark.

An internship in retail management at American Eagle, a popular clothing store, gave her firsthand insight into the dedication and preparation it takes to effectively run and manage a business. “It’s one thing to learn in the classroom and ace all your tests, but the best kind of learning comes from firsthand experiences.”

He taught me that in order to understand the way the business world works, I need to understand how the world works." With his encouragement, Brooke took part in a two-week D-Term trip to Turkey and Greece, which led to her studying abroad in Greece an entire term.
