The goal of the University of Iowa’s Henry B. Tippie School of Management is to prepare students for a global marketplace by promoting innovation, communication, analysis, and technology throughout its programs. Tippie has three career academies — marketing, finance and strategic innovation — to help students build a career plan and network with professionals in the field. Students at the Tippie School of Management can learn stock market strategy and behaviors firsthand by trading on the Iowa Electronic Market. Beyond the markets, students can consult for area companies at the school’s Business Solutions Center, hone their start-up skills at the Bedell Entrepreneurship Learning Laboratory, or become versed in the world of finance at the Hawkinson Institute of Business Finance.
