Welcome!

Welcome to the School of Business and Nonprofit Management at North Park University. The School continues a long tradition of quality business education dating back to 1891 and the very founding of North Park. Our School is committed to developing qualified, thoughtful business leaders grounded in business ethics. Our undergraduate students in the business and economics major are exposed to a rich foundation of business topics. With Chicago's world-class resources at our doorstep, our undergraduate business students are exposed to diverse opportunities to help develop their business and professional skills.

The graduate programs in the School provide professionals a personalized learning approach unique to graduate education. Small, dynamic classes and faculty and staff committed to helping students succeed characterize all of our graduate programs. Whether pursuing a short certificate program or an entire degree, students enjoy the ability to apply immediately in their work environment the skills and knowledge they learn in class. We are especially proud of our innovative nonprofit management programs, including graduate certificates and a master of nonprofit administration. As part of our school, the Axelson Center provides a full-service offering of programs for the nonprofit sector including non-credit workshops, a "Bootcamp" for new executive directors, and an annual symposium with over 400 in attendance.

I encourage you to consider joining our learning community. Please call (773)244-5518 or email Chris Nicholson for more information or to arrange a time to visit campus.

Sincerely,

Wesley E. Lindahl, Ph.D.
