World economics, e-commerce and advancing technology have changed the way we do business and created a wildly competitive marketplace. Northwest Technical College’s Management & Entrepreneurship program can help you develop the skills you need to earn satisfying management positions in a variety of fields — or prepare you to start your own business.

Students will learn about management theory, office management, fiscal management and responsibility, managing human resources and how computer technology impacts business.
