Bloomberg BusinessWeek has ranked the University of Iowa’s full-time MBA program among the best in the nation, at No. 35. The ranking for the Tippie College of Business program is up 20 spots from last year’s 55, which was a result of an increase in every metric the magazine evaluates. The survey of 87 MBA programs considers employers’ ranking of business schools, alumni ranking, student ranking, salary increase following graduation and job placement. The Tippie program’s 97.9 percent job placement rate, which tracks the number of alumni who are employed full time three months after graduation, ranked UI No. 2 in the nation in that category, ahead of every Ivy League school and behind only Rutgers. Tippie’s is the only full-time MBA program in Iowa that was ranked by BusinessWeek.
