Michigan State University MBA: Experience Student Life

Housing and Facilities

The main business campus consists of two buildings. The $21-million North Business Complex houses most departments as well as high-tech classrooms; the adjacent Eugene C. Eppley Center is home to MBA Program offices, the MBA Career Services Center, computer labs, the financial analysis lab and the information systems lab. A state-of-the-art computer laboratory is dedicated to the needs of MBAs, and the Gast Business Library is directly across the street. An intramural sports facility and the Wharton Center for the Performing Arts are nearby. Behind the school is a branch of the Red Cedar River; a popular site for a relaxing walk.
