Iowa State University, College of Business
At the Iowa State University Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business, we prepare students for a future of progress — giving them the vision and skills to go out and make a difference in the world. We combine quality curriculum, internationally known faculty, and a welcoming atmosphere to create an unmatched business education, whether students are seeking degrees at the bachelors, masters, or PhD level. Ivy students explore the world of business in meaningful ways, both inside and outside of the classroom, including internships, classroom projects, case competitions, company site visits and business consulting with our CyBIZ Lab. Ivy students have multiple opportunities to meet and learn from top leaders in business. We continuously evaluate our programs, innovate, and add new opportunities that fit current market demand and anticipate future business needs. Examples include adding undergraduate degrees in entrepreneurship (the first at a public university in Iowa), actuarial science, executive MBA (the first in the Midwest to focus in the areas of food, agriculture, and biosciences), masters of real estate development, and a PhD program in entrepreneurship — only the eighth program in the nation. After years of record enrollment, a 45,000 square foot building expansion will open in January 2021. At the Ivy College of Business, we are committed to offering a high quality education in a way that prepares students for their real-world experiences.
