What students are saying...

"I came to campus on a visit, and I was impressed with the Science Laboratory Building. Its equipment is accessible to students for undergraduate research --and its equipment that graduate students normally use."

Denise Colby '04,

"The Entrepreneurship major is what attracted me to Illinois State. The professors have had a definite impact on my life. In fact, I'm almost sure that I want to become a teacher."

Latoya King,
Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management major and Economics minor

"I selected Mennonite College of Nursing because of its great reputation. I especially appreciated the challenging coursework, which was well presented by professors who went out of their way to make sure students were challenged in order to be ready for the real world."
