Social responsibility matters.

Fuse sound business practices with sustainable entrepreneurship and social responsibility. Northland’s business program provides you with a foundational understanding of economics, finance, management, and marketing, all while engaging in environmental and social responsibility.

You’ll study the core concepts of business and non-profit management, entrepreneurship and strategic planning as you prepare for your career in your field of choice. A sports management minor is also an option for those seeking to learn the traditions, social values, and ethical and psycho-social experiences related to sports; the concepts of management and leadership; and the skills, roles, and functions of sports managers.
