Northern Illinois University

College of Business - NIU

Faculty Expertise in the Global Arena

Over the years, the college has seen an increase in the number of NIU business faculty whose country of origin is outside of the United States. Previously, NIU business faculty enjoyed members from Spain and Egypt. Currently, the NIU business faculty roster includes educators who were born in Korea, China, Sweden, Spain, India, Poland, and Turkey. Many of these faculty members - as well as the college's U.S.-born faculty - place their teaching efforts and research focus on the global business environment.   For example, assistant professor of marketing Mark Rosenbaum also a Fulbright Scholar taught the principles of marketing and services marketing at Cambodia's National University of Management in summer 2009. The Fulbright Scholar Program is a highly prestigious program and is the U.S. Government's flagship program in the international education arena. Additionally, many NIU business faculty are sought out by firms and by the media for their expertise on global business practices.
