BELIEF Ethics Program

For nearly fifteen years, with generous support from our partners, the NIU College of Business has been preparing future managers and business leaders with a solid ethics foundation through the Building Ethical Leaders Using an Integrated Ethics Framework (BELIEF) Program. For more information, please click on the link.

When I joined NIU and the College of Business as the BELIEF Director in 2018, I was thoroughly impressed by the comprehensiveness of the BELIEF Program - from the ethics handbook and decision-making guide to the ongoing faculty support and student learning assessment system. Our approach to integrating ethics across the entire NIU Business curriculum ensures students learn and apply the BELIEF decision-making guide in the context of business. The support of our partners lends credibility to the program and ensures its relevance in preparing NIU Business students to identify and respond to contemporary ethical dilemmas.

Our BELIEF Program depends on support from alumni, friends and organizations to keep pace with the changing business environment and to provide our Business Huskies practical tools that give voice to their values when faced with an ethical dilemma.

I invite you to learn more about the BELIEF Program of today, goals for tomorrow and ways you can support your fellow Business Huskies. Together, we can develop the next generation of principled managers and business leaders.

Go Huskies!
