Happy New Year from the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business at Iowa State University! Given our record of the last six years, I am confident we will continue to be a college on the move throughout 2020, and into the future.
Our fall 2019 semester started out with great news for our full-time, incoming MBA class as we welcomed our first cohort to have 50 percent female enrollment. Having gender equity is good for business and for MBA graduates. Additional details can be found in the article below.

A College on the Move
At the Iowa State University Ivy College of Business, we are proud to have some of the top minds in business on our team—our faculty.
Having our faculty publish their research in top journals is a priority for us. We have strategically increased our funding for faculty research and it is paying off as we are seeing an increase in research published in some of the best journals.
In addition to high quality research, members of our faculty have been instrumental in raising the profile and the rankings for our MBA program. We offer several options for students and working professionals to earn a high quality MBA in a blended format. At Ivy, we continue to invest in our vibrant full-time, in-person program where students have an outstanding experience.

It’s been an exciting start to the fall semester. For starters, our MBA program is gaining a lot of momentum and recognition. As some business schools are closing the doors on their full-time, in-person MBA programs and turning to 100 percent online learning, we take a different approach. At Ivy, we continue to invest in our full-time, in-person program where students learn in teams. Ivy MBA students tell us that is the strength of our program. As a result, we are seeing progress. Our part-time MBA was voted “Best MBA Program in Des Moines” – again, by readers of the Des Moines Business Record. Our full-time program, ranked #47 in the nation, has an incoming class that is 50/50 gender balanced. Please enjoy the article below about our MBA.

That does not happen by accident. During my first five years here at the Ivy College of Business, we more than doubled faculty research funding and in 2018, we had 109 publications in peer reviewed journals. We have increased the number of female faculty members by 45 percent, and funded eight additional named positions.

That’s the message we are sending with our refreshed brand, which we have been developing since being named the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business in September, 2017.
As the first named college at Iowa State University, we explored this new adventure with excitement—and honestly, a little fear. We are the first ones at the university to venture down this path. We want to do this correctly because our sister colleges on campus will look at our work when they become named, and we are confident that will happen!
