| About Students |
Northern Illinois University's Business in Action course provides students with an opportunity to add real value to a real organization through carefully designed student consulting projects that span across various topics and academic disciplines. Students will be split into teams of 4-5 so they can work to support each other throughout the project process.†
There are four different project scopes for the students to choose from and work on. Each section of Business in Action will have two teams working on each project scope.
NOTE: For fall 2022, UBUS 110 is divided into 2 8-week sessions, Fall A (August - October) and Fall B (October - December). The course schedule shown on this page includes both sessions.
