Alumni


Partnerships are the key to our success in building our students' futures. We thank so many of you who have helped us in the past as we continue to enhance the quality of the academic and professional opportunities in the college. We can't do it without you, and you have our sincere appreciation!

Over 29,000 business alumni hold executive positions in many different types of companies and industries, including government, law, and the non-profit sectors. Several have also become successful entrepreneurs and small business owners. More than 75 percent of our alumni work in the Midwest, but are represented in all 50 states and abroad.

A growing population of quality students, engaged and enthusiastic faculty, vital and relevant curricula, and an accomplished roster of graduates are the best evidence of the college's success. We are working hard to provide a lifetime of career value to our alumni!

College of Business Building

This is an exciting time for Illinois State University's College of Business. Having secured its position as a major resource for business success in Illinois and beyond, the college is capitalizing on the opportunities of a new era. In January of 2005 classes began in a new building that offers exciting opportunities for students, faculty, alumni, and employers. This facility embraces the best features of the nation's most prominent business schools, while retaining the spirit of personalized, student-centered education that is the hallmark of Illinois State University.
