Purdue University Northwest

Purdue University Northwest’s College of Business prepares future leaders to use business acumen for societal good through engaged scholarship, innovative instruction, and a supportive, student-centered climate. Guided by the university’s RISE values—Respect, Innovation, Student-Centricity, and Excellence—we are committed to fostering an environment where students thrive academically, professionally, and personally. 
 

Located in the dynamic Northwest Indiana/Chicago corridor, the College of Business provides students with direct access to Fortune 500 companies, regional employers, and a vibrant economic ecosystem that serves as a living laboratory for applied learning. Our alumni network reflects this impact, with graduates contributing to global corporations as well as strengthening local communities. 
 

We are proud to be among the first in the state to offer a specialized banking concentration, reflecting our responsiveness to industry needs and commitment to career-relevant education. From day one, students engage in experiences designed to build career readiness, including professional development programming, experiential learning, and meaningful industry connections. 
 

Our strategic focus centers on three pillars: enhancing the student experience, advancing community engagement and societal impact, and supporting faculty and staff success. Through these efforts, we cultivate a culture of belonging, innovation, and excellence that prepares graduates to lead with purpose in an evolving global business environment.
