Excel at writing and presenting.
The importance of strong communication skills is built into the culture of the Tippie College of Business. In fact, its Frank Business Communication Center was the first business communication center in the Big Ten.
The Frank Business Communication Center helps students hone their communication skills through tutoring and business communication courses, and works with faculty to develop writing, presentation, and data visualization assignments in more than 40 classes across majors and programs within the college.
While grammar and sentence structure are always important, the center also emphasizes macro communication skills, such as organization of message and audience analysis. It also works with advisory boards and employers to gain insight into what skills they are seeking in new hires.
“Every single business class has some form of presentation or writing report, and that’s on purpose because Iowa emphasizes writing and communication. There are writing resources literally everywhere you go on campus.”
