Helping You Create Your Future

“I chose Tippie because of its exceptional reputation for preparing students to work in a comprehensive corporate environment. While at Tippie, I learned to think critically and develop sound business strategies which allowed me to hit the ground running at 3M from day one.”

James Draper
Marketing Development Manager, 3M Company
Tippie MBA 1996

At Tippie, we believe that a world-class MBA should improve our students' professional and personal lives - intellectually, practically, and ethically. We offer an integrated program of high-quality academics, experiential business learning ("learning by doing"), and professional development. In building our curriculum, we incorporate the advice of corporate leaders as well as academic experts.

You work hard, but also see a high rate of return on your investment - on average, our graduates more than double their pre-MBA salary in their first post-MBA job. Let us open doors for you.

Deepen your business foundation

Our core curriculum builds a solid business foundation and emphasizes teamwork both inside and outside of class starting from your first day on campus.

Give your career the edge

Our MBA Competitive Prep course has one goal - to give you the edge you need to stand out as you pursue your professional goals. In addition, you work with our Career Services team one-on-one, and interact with guest speakers who are leaders in their industries.

Develop the leader within

Through the Tippie Leadership series, you immerse yourself in professional development modules to build your leadership abilities. You can also get involved with our student organizations and take on leadership roles.

Craft your professional portfolio

After you master the fundamentals of business, you choose an area of concentration. You develop and refine your professional portfolio - not just through your electives, but also through hands-on consulting projects, international experiences, student organizations, and leadership roles. Your portfolio helps you capture the attention of prospective employers - and land the job you want.

Master strategy

Throughout the program, you build and then refine the framework for successful business strategy. You practice analytic thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork that will help you gain the big-picture view that's critical to success in a constantly changing business world. Your final semester begins with a complex business simulation that heightens your skills in operational strategy.

Tippie students experience one of the world's fastest growing economies first hand.
