State Farm Hall of Business

The College of Business has two campuses. The main campus is located in the State Farm Hall of Business in Normal, Illinois. The State Farm Hall of Business opened in 2005. It was built to be a 21st-century version of the Oxford College Model. The building's four stories wrap around an open-air courtyard. The $28 million facility blends the small college campus environment with a corporate presence and state-of-the-art technologies.[5]

The second campus is located in downtown Chicago, Illinois for business professionals looking to receive their MBA. The program is a 19-month study with classes on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays every other weekend.
