With three campuses conveniently serving more than 2100 students in the greater Chicago area, Northwestern Business College provides a solid, career-focused education in some of the fastest growing professions. In as little as one to two years, NBC students can earn their certificate or degree and begin working in their chosen fields.
Founded in 1902 to provide men and women with the specialized training necessary for a successful career in business and to support Chicago’s rapidly growing business community, NBC continues to pursue the basic principles of its founder: to meet the needs of students who are career-oriented.
Northwestern Business College’s founder J.F. Fish had the foresight to realize that business would need competent, well-trained workers in the years ahead. His philosophy is still evident in the College today.
Mr. Fish and those who succeeded him believed that a career education should prepare students for significant, responsible lives and equip them with the intellectual and social skills necessary to succeed. Career preparation at NBC emphasizes the complementary relationship between a general education foundation and specialized study. At graduation, NBC students are prepared for entry into a career or for further study. Some will begin work in their chosen fields while others may seek to continue their education.
The following mission statement has been adopted by the Board of Directors of Northwestern Business College to guide the development and growth of the College.
The professionals of Northwestern Business College, an institution of higher education, empower students to realize their career potential and individual goals. Our quality educational programs combined with our commitment, integrity, and personal attention, provide a vital human resource to the community.

The guy who said it is an elite school thinks you are talking about Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Business -- which is one of the best MBA programs in the US.
Northwestern Business College is a two year For Profit school that trains you to do mundane business jobs. You would be better off at a community college -- and much better off at a four year university.
