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 ten campus locations in Minnesota: Blaine; Brooklyn Center; Elk River; Lakeville; Moorhead; Plymouth; Richfield; Rochester; Shakopee and Waite Park (St. Cloud).[2]
Globe College was founded in 1885 by Frank A. Maron, who was born and educated in Germany. An accomplished scholar, he received a thorough classical education in his native country. He realized a need for a practical educational alternative for young men and women. He made this type of education available by establishing Globe College in Minnesota. From its inception, the university stressed the teaching of business as it is practiced. The school provides individual attention and combines theory with practice in classes that stress practical applications. Graduates are ready for immediate employment in their chosen fields. In October 1972, Helmer Myhre and Terry Myhre purchased the college. In June 2007, it became Globe University. The school has eight campuses: Green Bay, WI; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Madison, Wisconsin; Middleton, Wisconsin; Wausau, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Woodbury, Minnesota.
