Detroit's Business School - Mike Ilitch School of Business - Wayne State University

The Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University operates from a new building, which opened to students in Fall 2018 and was made possible by a $40 million lead investment from Mike and Marian Ilitch. The gift is the largest in WSU history and ranks as one of the largest gifts ever to name a public business school in the United States.
The new facility is WSU's first entirely new construction project outside of the university's Midtown campus. Our location in the District Detroit brings students closer to the heart of Detroit's business community and enhances access to internship and career opportunities.
