This week, a group of local business leaders got to see first-hand just how fast that can be, thanks to a new $300,000 specialized lab at the Montana State University Billings College of Business.
The Management Information Systems (MIS) lab, just completed this semester and opened this month, was made possible through a $150,000 grant from the Montana Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education and matching funds from local businesses. What was once a traditional classroom on the second floor of McDonald Hall where students used to talk about technology in the business world is now a state-of-the art interactive and collaborative learning environment where they can do it.
