Admitted Tippie MBA students enjoy the finale reception in Kinnick Stadium's skybox

Advance Weekend is a unique opportunity for admitted and prospective students to experience life at Tippie, meet current students, and get answers to all of your questions. You'll attend sessions on academics and career services, experience Tippie's social life, tour Iowa City, and much more.

Advance will give you added insight to the culture and social life of Tippie and Iowa City. Plus, you'll meet your future classmates. More than a campus visit, Tippie Advance will help you prepare for your MBA experience.

What Students Are Saying About Advance

"When I visited for Advance Weekend, I had already committed to Tippie. But after meeting with current students, program alumni, faculty, and staff—not to mention some of my future classmates—my decision to become a part of the Tippie family was really reinforced. It's been one of the best decisions I've ever made."
Carl Schumacher, MBA Candidate 2010

"I'd applied to a handful of MBA programs, but I was conflicted about where I wanted to spend the next two years. Advance Weekend gave me the unique opportunity to spend extended time with current students, faculty, and alumni. The weekend ended up being the deciding factor for me."
Katherine Funk, MBA Candidate 2010

"While Tippie was among my top choices on paper, Advance Weekend gave me a chance to feel it out. The opportunity to see Iowa City and meet students and faculty was important, but it was my fellow future students that really cemented my decision."
Justin Block, MBA Candidate 2010
