Add some “oomph” to your Iowa MBA
If you can personalize your socks, you surely should be able to personalize your degree, right? The Iowa MBA offers a variety of concentrations so you can make sure your education fits neatly into your career plans.
Concentrations you complete will show up on your transcript as “certificates.” With a little bit of planning, you can graduate with two credentials without added time or expense: an MBA and a certificate.
There is no separate application. Once you’re admitted, you’ll work with your advisor to weave the necessary courses into your plan of study.
