Business School 2.0
The business curriculum at Michigan Tech is not an afterthought. It's the foundation for innovation, entrepreneurism, and team skills critical to growth in all STEM fields. To produce STEM-savvy business students and business-savvy STEM students, the College of Business at Michigan Tech must expand.
The College requires smart classrooms and teaching space to recruit and retain world-class faculty, and areas for teams of multidisciplinary students to collaborate, receive tutoring, and seek academic support.
Alumni and long-time donors Richard and Joyce Ten Haken donated $1 million toward the new College of Business infrastructure. You can support our mission of growth, too.
Donor- and State-matching opportunities are available. Contact Dean Johnson, dean of the Michigan Tech College of Business, at dean@mtu.edu to explore ways your support can multiply—helping us take larger steps toward our goal.
