<p>Hi , found this on NU website : "The Business Institutions Program"
<a href="http://www.northwestern.edu/bip/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.northwestern.edu/bip/index.html</a>
anybody know anything about it? seems like undergrad business to me (but as a minor) ?</p>
<p>Yeah, it is a popular minor in SESP. It is basically the closest to an undergraduate degree that you're going to get at Northwestern.</p>
<p>whats SESP ?</p>
<p>UC<em>Benz, you are wrong. Business Institutions is a minor for all the schools. It's not really a "business minor" but gives you a liberal arts approach on how the business and corporate world operates. However, it's more popular in Communications (Communication Studies majors) or Weinberg (Econ majors, for example). Shame on you, UC</em>Benz for giving out false information.</p>
<p>Go48, SESP = School of Education and Social Policy!
Not many Education majors are Business Institutions minors!</p>
<p>Oh, God forbid I be wrong!</p>
<p>The program I was thinking of is Learning and Organizational Change, which is in SESP. All of the admissions personnel that I have heard speak seem to recommend this program for business.</p>
<p>LOC is basically psychology + computer science + sociology. lol</p>
<p>Well I'm simply relaying what I heard at several information sessions. It's your choice whether to believe a student or an admissions officer.</p>
<p>How is one admitted to the Business Institutions program? From high scool or once in college? How hard is to get into and would be suggested prequisites for getting in?</p>
<p>Well, I actually found somewhere on the BIP site that you apply to the program when you are already a Northwestern student. How competitive is it to get into the program? Also, is BIP good for someone who would want to go into the financial sector (ie: investment banking/trading) or is mostly about management?</p>
<p>Plmok, it's only a minor. You have to be a Northwestern student to apply. I don't think it's very competitive. It's popular, but it's not hard to get into. Don't think this is a "business degree."</p>
<p>*Northwestern's minor program in business institutions in based on the assumption that the study of business can be approached through a thoughtful investigation of the cultural, political, philosophical, literary, and social sources and consequences of business institutions. Therefore the program is not intended to be preprofessional training or to function as a business concentration within any single departmental major. It is conceived as a broad, multidisciplinary perspective on a significant area of inquiry. Students who wish to pursue the minor in business institutions should be open to the intellectual approaches of many disciplines. *
