The College

Since 1847, the Tippie College of Business has cultivated a legacy of innovation, thought leadership, and excellence in business education. We have nearly 6,000 students within undergraduate, graduate, and PhD programs spanning seven academic departments—accounting, business analytics, economics, finance, risk management and insurance, marketing, and management and entrepreneurship. We are eight centers and institutes, and four student-managed endowment funds. We’re over 61,000 alumni—and growing. Tippie is regularly listed in top business school rankings. We also hold the gold standard of accreditations, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and have maintained the accreditation for over 95 years (since 1923). 

But who we are is not just in the curriculum we curate—it’s also in the community we create. Our leadership embraces our responsibility to pursue academic excellence within a welcoming environment where every student can thrive. More than 150 years after our founding, we continue to be a place where students can grow and flourish in their professional or academic careers. 

The Department

The Department of Finance supports one of the largest and most in-demand programs at the Tippie College of Business, serving more than 1,200 undergraduate finance majors—Tippie’s most declared major—and playing a vital role in the College’s expanding online MBA program. Tippie’s online MBA finance concentration was ranked #16 nationally in the 2026 U.S. News & World Report rankings.

As a Carnegie R1 research institution and member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), the University of Iowa is among the world’s leading research universities, and the Tippie College of Business is part of this rich research ecosystem.

That reputation is further strengthened by faculty whose internationally respected expertise elevates both teaching and research—from Department Executive Officer Erik Lie being named a Time 100: Most Influential People in the World for his groundbreaking research on options backdating, to Ann Campbell, an international thought leader in transportation logistics. Students and faculty also benefit from industry-standard financial data and analytics platforms, including Bloomberg and FactSet, which are fully integrated into coursework, assignments, and student projects. Exceptional student placement rates and top salaries underscore the department’s strong outcomes, with graduates making an impact across the business landscape, from leading Fortune 500 companies to shaping major mergers and acquisitions.
