Student after student tell us they chose Boise State University College of Business and Economics (COBE) “because of the vibe.” Often within the first few minutes of a visit to the Boise State campus, students feel the vibe and say, “This is where I want to be!”
What is the vibe?
Perhaps the vibe is the cutting-edge nature and value of degree programs offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Perhaps the vibe is the sense of campus-wide pride in studying at a university recognized nationally for its innovation.
What a building!
It feels great to study in the beautiful Micron Business and Economics Building (MBEB) which has become a Boise landmark. Designed to foster student and faculty interaction, collaboration and creativity, the vibe is comfortable and friendly. It will be your home away from home.
Walking into the ICCU Plaza you are greeted by a statue of Steve Appleton extending a welcoming hand. Steve is memorialized in bronze by internationally-recognized sculptor and Boise State’s Professor of the Practice Benjamin Victor. Steve was CEO of Micron (1994-2012) and a COBE alumnus. Steve championed the Micron’s lead gift to the building.
Many donors contributed to making MBEB great. See 10 donor-supported spaces that make the Micron Business and Economics Building special.

The great outdoors!

The Blue!
A stadium full of students and alumni cheering for the nationally recognized Bronco football team on the Blue Turf is hands-down one of the best school-spirit vibes in the nation!
