Congratulations to our School of Business and Entrepreneurship for earning AACSB accreditation!

AACSB International (AACSB) recently announced that North Central has earned business accreditation. AACSB accreditation is considered the gold standard of business education, and accredited institutions represent the largest business education network connecting learners, educators, and businesses worldwide.

North Central now counts itself among fewer than 6 percent of the world's schools offering AACSB-accredited business degree programs.

“It’s an honor for North Central College to be recognized among an elite group of AACSB-accredited institutions,” said President Abiódún Gòkè-Paríolá. “This achievement is a testament to the talented and hard-working faculty within our School of Business & Entrepreneurship, and the incredible work they invest in preparing students to become principled and ethical leaders, business professionals, and entrepreneurs in our dynamic global society.”

Look who got to roast today! As a learning and research lab, we like to provide opportunities for our undergraduates to be part of every step of the bean to cup process. Under the watch of a mentor, Jose was able to roast two batches today and they turned out great! This is just one of the many ways we support student engaged learning.
