History

Minnesota School of Business

Minnesota School of Business was founded in 1877 by Professor Alexander R. Archibald, previously of Dartmouth College. He and an assistant taught classes in bookkeeping, shorthand, English, and penmanship in a three-room school in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For 12 years the school was called Archibald Business College. In 1890 the school was purchased by Charles T. Rickard and Grove A. Gruman and moved to larger facilities in the Jewelers' Exchange Building in Minneapolis.

In 1929, the school was sold to the Correll and Kamprath families and was relocated to 24 South Seventh Street. In 1979 the School was moved again to the Chamber of Commerce Building in Minneapolis.

ITT Educational Services Inc. purchased the school in 1969. Terry L. Myhre purchased the school in January 1988. Today, the school is completely owned by the Terry L. Myhre family. There are now eight campus locations in Minnesota: Blaine; Brooklyn Center; Elk River; Lakeville; Plymouth; Richfield; Rochester; and Waite Park (St. Cloud).

Globe University

Globe College was founded in 1885 by Frank A. Maron, who was born and educated in Germany. An accomplished scholar, he received a classical education in his native country. Recognizing a need for a practical education for young men and women, he established Globe College in Minnesota. From its inception, the university stressed the teaching of business as it is practiced. In October 1972, Helmer Myhre and Terry Myhre purchased the college. In June 2007, it became Globe University. The school has 11 campuses: Appleton, Wisconsin; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Onalaska, Wisconsin; Madison, Wisconsin; Middleton, Wisconsin; Wausau, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Moorhead, Minnesota; and Woodbury, Minnesota.

Minnesota Attorney General consumer protection lawsuit

In July 2014 Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson announced that the state was suing Globe University/Minnesota School of Business. The lawsuit "[alleges that] the for-profit sister schools misled criminal justice program students about their career prospects." The suit contends that the school used high pressure sales tactics and misled students regarding the acceptance of their degrees and credits for the careers the students wanted. In 2013, the schools were sued by former students making similar allegations. The colleges dispute the allegations.

In 2016, the schools closed several campuses. The closures were attributed to the lawsuit and a "three-year negative publicity campaign."
