The Tippie Advantage

“For me, the greatest asset at the Tippie School is the small size of the program, which enables close and continuing contact with some of the top minds in business academics. At Tippie, your concern isn't "How do I gain access to the professors?" It is "How do I best utilize my contact with them?" Faculty encourage you to venture beyond your technical skills to approach problems from a strategic perspective. This arms graduates with the aptitude and experience to lead businesses, not just participate in them.”
