Business Connections

The Tippie College of Business means business. Not only do we train business professionals to have an impact in their workplace, we utilize the connections we have with the business community to enhance the educational experience.

The College's Board of Visitors is made up of a distinguished group of business leaders that offer strategic guidance to the College and its programs much like a Board of Directors for corporations. The Tippie School of Management Advisory Council (SoMAC) is dedicated to shaping the strategy for the Tippie MBA programs. In addition each academic department within the Tippie College of Business works with an advisory council that provides insight and vision as the College shapes its curriculum and programs. The best business transactions benefit both the buyer and the seller. The best education should enrich both the students and their employers. Our MBA-PM students represent Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and nonprofit agencies from across the Midwest. More than 250 of the region's most prestigious companies have benefited from the efforts of students of the Tippie MBA-PM.
