Prospective Students

The State Farm Hall of Business is home to the College of Business at Illinois State University. It combines a small school experience with large university opportunities in a high-tech facility.

All business courses are taught by full-time faculty or industry professionals, and most disciplines include real client projects as course requirements. The bar is set high, but our students would expect nothing less. They choose Illinois State because they expect to grow professionally during their tenure, and we believe it is our responsibility to make sure the opportunities exist to make that happen.

What's the difference in business here? Our students and alumni tell us the difference is:

• Personal connections with talented and enthusiastic faculty and staff.
• Meaningful real world projects and internships preparing students for current challenges in business and industry.
• Opportunities to interact and network with successful alumni and proven business leaders.
• More than 28 diverse student organizations in the College of Business that help students build leadership, communication, organizational skills, and make lifelong friendships.
• Comprehensive curricula providing strong preparation for teamwork, technology, analysis, and other key skills you will need to succeed in the business world. 
• A new high-tech learning environment - In a 21st century version of the Oxford College model, the building's four stories wrap around an open-air courtyard. The facility blends the small college campus environment with a corporate presence and state-of-the-art technologies.
