The College of Business at MSU, Mankato is nationally recognized as offering a technologically advanced active learning environment. In 1999, the COB embraced laptops as an integral part of learning within the modern global digital business economy.
The COB IT (Laptop) Initiative prepares our students to make significant contributions to all organizations after graduation through their understanding of the essential role of digital information flows in the modern global economy. Our graduates are sought out specifically for being technologically savvy and for their knowledge of how to apply technology to solving business problems.
The College of Business at Minnesota State Mankato distinguishes itself by providing an excellent infrastructure for student learning. Students have laptops with 24/7 access to the very best online information sources. A $125 IT Initiative fee makes it possible for the COB to be a preferred college of business in the upper midwest. The fee is charged each semester a student is enrolled in a laptop required class (200-400 level courses).
Enrollment in College of Business 200-400 level courses requires the use of a COB 
specially configured laptop for all students.
