✈️ One semester. Countless adventures.

This spring, MBS students traveled to Italy to explore the world of tourism and hospitality through immersive, hands-on learning experiences. 🇮🇹

Because some lessons are best learned by seeing them firsthand.

From international travel opportunities to consulting projects and company visits, Maine Business School students gain experiences that help them stand out long before graduation.

Where will your business degree take you?

🔹 Recruitment events like Enhanced Business Days
🔹 Faculty, staff, and student gatherings
🔹 Professional development events and workshops

We can't wait to see these new spaces come to life and create even more opportunities for our MBS community to connect, collaborate, and grow. Stay tuned for more photos as the work continues....
