MBU campus

Made for human connection

Welcome to the neighborhood

We’ve clustered our real-world-ready majors into four groups called neighborhoods. All incoming freshmen select a neighborhood based on their interests and ambitions. The Signature neighborhoods are:

  • Business & Technology
  • Health & Science
  • Education & Society
  • Creativity & Design

Students in a neighborhood are assigned to live together their first year, study and take classes together, enjoy special lectures, field trips, and more.

Plus, we’ll connect you with peer and faculty mentors, professional and academic advisors, and graduate fellows to guide and support you.
