Welcome to the College of Business and Technology.
The College of Business and Technology at Northeastern Illinois University has grown from a few business courses to a separate college that is part of a vibrant, urban university. In 2024 we celebrated our 40th anniversary as a college at Northeastern.
Currently, the College has three departments: Accounting, Business Law, and Finance; Computer Science; and Marketing and Management. Together they provide about 250 class sections each year in eight different majors, as well as fifteen different minors. We are accredited by AACSB International and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. We are also pursuing ABET Accreditation.
