Miller Education Center (MEC): The Ideal Home for the Mortgage Banking Career Program

The Miller Education Center (MEC) is where all in-person sessions of the Mortgage Banking Career Program take place — and it’s one of the biggest advantages of joining the cohort. The facility combines the convenience of an off-campus location with the resources of a modern university learning environment, creating the perfect setting for professional training, networking, and industry engagement.

A Prime, Easy-Access Location

Located at 503 E. Bell Street, Murfreesboro, TN 37130, the MEC sits between MTSU’s football stadium and downtown Murfreesboro, making it easy to reach from anywhere in town.

What students consistently appreciate:

  • Free, on-site parking directly beside the building

  • No parking permits or long walks required

  • Quick access from both campus and downtown living areas

  • A quiet, professional environment away from campus congestion

Even faculty often choose to walk from main campus or from home when the weather is nice — it’s that accessible.

A Professional, Comfortable Environment

The MEC was designed for executive education and professional development, which makes it a perfect match for a program that brings students face-to-face with industry leaders.

Students benefit from:

  • Modern, well-equipped classrooms built for interactive learning

  • Comfortable seating and spacious tables suitable for multi-hour evening sessions

  • High-quality audiovisual systems for presentations, remote guest speakers, and live demonstrations

  • Thoughtful room layouts that support discussion, Q&A, and small-group interaction

  • A quiet, focused atmosphere — no classroom distractions or campus noise

The environment feels more like a corporate training center than a traditional classroom, which helps reinforce the professional mindset that makes this program so effective.

Built for Collaboration and Networking

Because each session features executives, hiring managers, and experienced professionals from across the real estate finance industry, the physical space matters.

The MEC’s layout supports:

  • Natural conversation before and after sessions

  • Comfortable group interaction

  • A professional impression when students meet industry guests

  • An environment that encourages students to engage, ask questions, and build relationships

The space helps create the program’s signature experience: students learning side-by-side with leaders who are shaping the industry.

A Facility That Elevates the Entire Program

The Mortgage Banking Career Program is designed to prepare students for real-world careers. Holding the sessions at the Miller Education Center strengthens that mission by providing:

  • A polished, professional setting

  • A convenient, stress-free location

  • A classroom experience that reflects the standards of the industry students are entering

It’s a place where students can focus, connect, and grow — and where the program’s hands-on, career-oriented approach truly comes to life.
