About the Department

A business education that works

Elmhurst’s Center for Business and Economics provides a personal, practical, powerful education designed to prepare tomorrow’s business leaders for success. Here’s some of what you’ll find at the CBE:

• Top-notch faculty. At Elmhurst, you’ll work face to face with professors who’ve served as corporate consultants, technology experts, and Fulbright scholars. Our average class has only 19 students, so these great scholars will get to know you as an individual.
• Business knowledge and more. You’ll gain not only a comprehensive range of cutting-edge business knowledge and skills, but also the depth, imagination, and flexibility required to adapt in the blink of an eye—and thrive.
• Real-world experience. Our location in the thriving business corridor of west suburban Chicago leads to numerous internship and field experience opportunities. Our mentoring program brings together teams of students with a business mentor to discuss the practical realities of the business world.
• Innovative business institutes. Through our campus-based institutes, you’ll do cutting-edge research, consult with area businesses, work with international corporations, and implement solutions to actual business challenges.

In short, you’ll prepare to find your place in the new global world of business and society. It's no wonder that businesses all over the world seek out Elmhurst students for their broad perspective and experience.
