Globe College

Overview of Globe College

Founded in 1885 as a school with a focus on practical business education, Globe College was purchased in 1972 by the same family which would later purchase the Minnesota School of Business (MSB). In June 2007, Globe College changed its name to Globe University and set its campus in Woodbury, Minnesota. The two schools now operate under the name of Globe University/Minnesota School of Business (GU/MSB). The original Globe College campus in Woodbury is supplemented by the six MSB Minnesota campuses under the new consolidated arrangement.
