One of Minnesota’s Oldest Colleges Returns to the
Minneapolis Business District!
Downtown
Minneapolis, Globe University/Minnesota School of Business
is back, now offering the MBA degree at our IDS Center
location.
In 1877, students at Minnesota School of Business in
Minneapolis dodged covered wagons and horse-drawn carriages
to attend classes in a three-room building at the
intersection of Marquette and 3rd Streets. The new
business college
was proud of its location in the heart of the business
district of the region’s greatest city, and of its
curriculum: English and business skills training that
prepared students for high-demand jobs.
Over the next 130 years, as the student body grew and the
scope of the curriculum expanded, the college relocated a
number of times within Minneapolis. In 1993, MSB moved to a
new campus in Richfield, Minnesota.
In
summer, 2008 we will hold the first classes at our new
downtown Minneapolis location, in the IDS Center on the
Nicollet Mall. Students arriving by light rail, metro bus
and auto will pass through the Crystal Court to attend
classes in our 21st Century facility.
