Empower Your Workplace With Gies Online
Our Online Programs at Gies College of Business cater to a diverse range of professional backgrounds and employers. We would love to meet some of your coworkers and share details on how graduate education can help them and your company succeed. Can you put us in touch with your HR department? Do you have a business club or professional group at work that could benefit from learning about Gies? We would love to have you join us for a presentation to share the student experience while we explain all of the Gies credentials we have to offer. We are excited to create new relationships with your colleagues! Reach out to Marcus Phillips for more information.
 
Register for Fall Courses
Fall courses begin as early as August 14, and soft launch is just a few weeks away. We recommend learners register at least two weeks prior to the start of courses to ensure access by soft launch. If you haven't registered yet, now is a great time to review your program’s fall course offerings and register in student self-service. Registration will close at 11:59 pm CT on the first day of class. Courses may fill up before they begin, so it's advised to register early. If you need assistance with registration or course selection, we encourage you to connect with a specialist on our advising team.
