If I had to describe Tippie to someone who was unfamiliar, I would point to the general atmosphere of high expectations and professionalism. In all of my classes, I have the opportunity to work in groups where I have to collaborate with students from different backgrounds, and different ways at approaching problems. Although the technical education in accounting and finance at Tippie is absolutely excellent, I would say that Tippie?s main selling point is the school?s success in preparing students to enter a job market that demands excellent teamwork and communication skills.

All of the professors are really focused on giving us the skills we need to succeed in the real world, not what is going to give us a good grade in the class. They are all very helpful and challenge us to participate in outside activities to build our resume and be prepared for graduation. There are many programs and recruiting activities in the program that I think make it unique and successful.

Although Iowa is a large school with many students in the business program it still feels like a small, tight-knit community. By your senior year you know almost all the students in your major classes and the teachers know everybody by name. When you see teachers in the halls they will stop and talk to you and their offices are always open if you have questions even if they are not about class.
