Iowa State University

Iowa State University is a major research university located on a lush, sprawling campus in Ames, Iowa. The university got its start more than a century ago as one of the nation's first land-grants universities dedicated to the idea that higher education ought to be open to all, practical and shared with people outside the campus.

Iowa State grew from agricultural roots and has a long-standing well-earned reputation for scientific and technological advances in agriculture, veterinary medicine, home economics, science and engineering. Over the past century, it has grown into a research university of international stature, with excellent programs not only in scientific and technical fields, but in the humanities and arts as well.
