• Grow and develop their professional skills

Student Groups

Start building your professional network through one of out student groups, including Accounting Club, Women in Leadership Club, and the Student Business Board.  These groups host outside speakers and organize networking events that will help you grow professionally, and also provide an opportunity for you to connect with students who share similar interests. 

Internships

Every Northwestern business student completes at least one semester-long internship. An internship provides realistic, hands-on experience and valuable networking.  Students gain confidence as they see their classroom knowledge applied in the business world and experience the business world in a more realistic environment.

One of the primary benefits of an internship is that it allows you to "test the waters" to determine whether or not a particular area or company is a good fit with your interests and skills, and many students find their internship opens the doors to a full-time position after graduation.
