Here's everything you need to know to apply

If you're ready to take your seat at the table, we’re here to guide you through the application process. We enroll new students in the fall semester every year. The final application deadline is August 1.

Step 1: Gather your documents

Our application is 100% online; you’ll be asked to upload these documents as you progress through the application.

  • Resume—This document (or equivalent—vitae, professional biography) should summarize your professional history and work experience.

  • Transcript(s)—We can make an admissions decision with unofficial copies of your transcripts if you have them. If you don’t, ask your institution(s) to send transcripts directly to Graduate Admissions. We need transcripts from all institutions where you earned a bachelor's degree or higher. If you earned a degree from the University of Iowa, we already have your records; no need to request them.
  • Statement of purpose—Explain your interest in pursuing this program at the Tippie College of Business and how this experience will allow you to achieve your goals. Please limit your response to 500 words or less.

Step 4: Send your official transcripts

If you used unofficial transcripts in Step 1, official transcripts should be mailed or emailed directly from the institution to:
