About the Graduate School of Business & Leadership

The Graduate School of Business and Leadership offers holistic professional preparation and a contemporary academic experience through its business and management courses. National Louis University has aligned its portfolio with the marketplace to create outstanding career opportunities for students. We are a pioneering community that uses innovation to improve outcomes, questioning the status quo and striving to adapt with the changing needs of our students.

Founded in 1886, National Louis University (NLU) is a private not-for-profit university with a long, venerable history that is not typical. We seek to solve intractable social issues through education, believing we have not succeeded until graduates achieve sustainable career-related employment. We foster a culture that promotes failing fast so that we may constantly improve our work. Today, we honor our past while defining a bold new future as a contemporary, comprehensive university that prepares diverse students for sustained professional success with a deep commitment to Access, Excellence, Innovation, and Equity.

NLU is located in the center of Chicago's downtown loop, across from the Art Institute, in an area recognized as America's largest campus with over 25 institutions and 50,000 students. In addition to our downtown location, the University has two suburban locations and a Florida regional campus, serving over 10,000 students annually through campus-based, blended, and online programming.
