Educating students for careers since the 1870s
Globe University/Minnesota School of Business (GU/MSB) has been providing career training for students in Minnesota since the 1870s. We continue offer the same focused education that provides graduates with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Although we have the same mission, we have expanded and grown since our founding. Today we provide multiple campuses in the Upper Midwest and a thriving online division. We offer students the flexibility of taking classes entirely online; completing their programs with some online courses and some on-campus courses; and enrolling in hybrid courses that combine the best of online and on-campus in one class.

History of online education at GU/MSB
Online learning is a child of the Internet. The 1990's were a time of growth, experimentation and expansion. By the year 2000, learning management systems, such as Blackboard™, had progressed to the point where it made sense for colleges like GU/MSB to offer online classes. The level of student support that GU/MSB traditionally provides students was now possible in the online environment, and the school began offering online classes in 2000. By 2005, GU/MSB had formed a fully online division, offering accredited degree and diploma programs through the Internet.
