About the Program
Purdue Northwest offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Business that has been designed to help students develop a broad perspective of the business organization and the environment in which it operates. A distinctive and flexible general education component establishes a solid foundation that facilitates your ability to respond to changing employment opportunities even after you graduate. Through a series of core courses and with the guidance of experienced faculty, you’ll be introduced to the broad range of knowledge and skills needed to begin or advance a career in a wide range of enterprises.
The Management program will prepare our graduates to assume responsible roles in business and industry. Students will acquire insights into management theories and cutting-edge management practices needed for both personal and professional growth. The SCM concentration within the Management major enables our students to learn not only general management principles but also knowledge and hand-on skills of supply chain management. Students taking this concentration will better prepare themselves to compete for jobs in the field of supply chain management.
Civics Literacy Proficiency
The Civics Literacy Proficiency activities are designed to develop civic knowledge of Purdue Northwest students in an effort to graduate a more informed citizenry.
Students will complete the Proficiency by passing a test of civic knowledge, and completing one of three paths:
- Attending six approved civics-related events and completing an assessment for each; or
- Completing 12 podcasts created by the Purdue Center for C-SPAN Scholarship and Engagement that use C-SPAN material and completing an assessment for each; or
- Earning a passing grade for one of the approved courses (or transferring in approved AP or departmental credit in lieu of taking a course)

College Scorecard
The U.S. Department of Education has created a scorecard for each university and its programs. The scorecard shows data for the university such as graduation rate, average annual cost, and median earnings. Then, when certain minimum standards have been met, data are available for a specific program. That data could include median earnings, median total debt, and number of graduates.
