Why choose UIU?

Founded in 1857, Upper Iowa University is a private, not-for-profit university providing educational excellence and leadership development to approximately 6,800 students — both nationally and internationally — at our traditional campus in picturesque Fayette, Iowa; through our various online degree programs; at our U.S. centers; through our independent study program; and at our international centers.

The UIU Master of Business Administration degree requirements requires 39 semester credits of graduate level course work with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for completion. At UIU, three semester credit courses are scheduled in six, eight week terms, each year. 

The MBA offers areas of emphases in

• Accounting
• Corporate Financial Management
• Global Business
• Human Resources Management
• Organizational Development

While complementary, the areas of emphasis are distinct. Skill and competence in specific business areas are developed through individual and group assignments that combine theory with practical examples. Learners work both individually and interact as members of problem-solving teams to apply relevant theories to practical case study situations. The program provides a balance of quantitative and qualitative studies to strengthen contemporary managerial skills.
