"I am very pleased to introduce the new and improved MSB Online Newsletter! Each quarter we’ll be sharing some of the great news about MSB Online as well as putting the spotlight on some of our dedicated students, staff, and faculty. We hope to include current news about online education and through Ken’s Corner, we’ll be showcasing some of the cutting edge learning tools that are being developed and used in our online programs and courses. We hope that you find our newsletter useful and informative, and please use the survey tool to the right to provide your feedback and testimonials!

Today we are serving well over 300 fully online learners and over 2,400 residential students taking online courses. As you can see from the graphic below, we are not just exclusive to Minnesota, but we are truly growing a diverse and talented population of students that are all over the United States! We hope to have a presence in all 50 states by the end of the year!



Another exciting new initiative are our Student Resource Centers that will be located in Sioux Falls and Fargo. We are hoping to provide a new and convenient education alternative to adult learners in areas outside of the state of Minnesota. Through our Student Resource Centers, students will have the best of both worlds by being able to retain the flexibility of a fully online program, but also be able to obtain face-to-face assistance if and when they need it.

Once again, these are very exciting times at MSB Online and we’re very pleased to be able to share some of the great news in this new format.
