• You must complete  MGMT 335, FINA 320, MKTG 310 and OMIS 338 with a C or better grade.
• You must submit a completed transcript review form to the Department of Management during the semester in which you're enrolled in MGMT 335. This form is separate from the NIU admission form and is available in the Department of Management office or online. You are responsible for providing all transcript information to the Undergraduate Admissions.
  • Completed forms must be submitted by the deadline to:
    • The Department of Management

Testimonial

As a first-generation college student who came from a hard-working Hispanic household, I always knew that I wanted to achieve something that my family hadn’t yet accomplished — to graduate from a four-year university like NIU. Here, I successfully graduated cum laude with a B.S. in human resource management, and received a professional selling certificate. Through earning accomplishments and managing obstacles at NIU, I uncovered my true passion for helping people.
