SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A

s

The faculty in finance is excellent. The MBA was a great investment just for getting the knowledge and the MBA experience (team-building, leadership skills, consulting projects, summer internship, China trip, semester in Europe). However, the career services was not good. -- Finance

It is a program with a great community spirit. Faculty and staff are very approachable and eager to help. During my internship search, I went to visit a company and a staff member let me stay at her father-in-law's house. -- Marketing

The school is not as competitive as I wished and the location makes job search a challenge. -- Operations

I believe I received a solid foundation in finance and marketing at the University of Iowa, thus I would recommend the school to friends interested in business. -- Information Technology

s

The school is extremely good for someone who is interested in a Finance concentration like myself. With top class faculty and facilities and a good alumni network in various finance companies, it is possible to develop a thorough knowledge base and to find an appropriate job where one can apply such knowledge. -- Finance

Due to the small class sizes in the Iowa MBA program few recruiters come to campus. You really have to work hard on your own to get interviews. For this reason, I would not recommend the school to everyone as some people like to sit back and think career services will do all the work. -- Finance

The school is fantastic, and the best investment I've ever made. The faculty and administration truly care about the students. -- Finanace

s

Iowa MBA is strong in terms of academic education, facility, however the school does need strengthen its connections with business world. The location is considered a minus mainly because there is no airport hub. -- Marketing

They have a great marketing program and with some of the upcoming changes to the course structure, I think the program will be even better. -- Marketing

The University of Iowa provides a great MBA at a very affordable price. My salary increased by 86% when comparing before and after this program! -- Human Resources

s

Some of the things that stand out at Tippie are: Exceptional faculty, small class strength and financial aid. -- Finance

The MBA at the University of Iowa is a high-quality degree. The program offers opportunities to be involved in many student activities, meet high-profile CEOs, and is small enough to offer each student personal attention in academics, the career search and with guest speakers. -- Marketing

This is by far the best return on investment of any business school in existance. I have already asked friends, former coworkers, and new acquaintences with academic and business potential to apply to the Henry B. Tippie School of Management. I wouldn't have traded this experience for one at any other school. -- Marketing

s

My experience at the University of Iowa was excellent. The relatively small class size made the interaction with professors and fellow-students very strong. Existence of extremely good courses in Finance. -- Finance

The University of Iowa MBA program may be one of the best-kept secrets out there in the MBA world. The teaching and career services office are outstanding. The main downside is the lack of many MBA career opportunities in the immediate area, leading to less on-campus recruiting and long trips for interviews. -- Finance
