Founded in 1905, Missouri State University (MSU) is the second-largest campus by enrollment in the state, having seen a more than 25% increase since 2008. Its College of Business is the largest in Missouri and one of the largest in the Midwest, with all programs accredited by the AACSB, a status held by only 10% of business colleges. MSU’s student-athletes, known as the Bears, compete at the NCAA Division I level in the Missouri Valley Conference, the second-oldest collegiate athletic conference in the U.S. The university's main indoor athletics facility, Great Southern Bank Arena, can seat 11,000 fans and was recently renamed following a $5.5 million gift, securing permanent naming rights for this venue that opened in 2008.
