More than 30,000 students are enrolled at Iowa, but we have a student-to-faculty ratio of 16:1.

Large lecture halls host a few of our most popular undergraduate courses, with several hundred students in attendance. However, most lectures are complemented by classroom discussions among smaller groups. Altogether, 81 percent of our undegraduate courses have fewer than 30 students.

In addition, Iowa students get plenty of one-on-one interaction with instructors. All instructors have weekly office hours, and each student is assigned an academic advisor to help them navigate the University and select the best courses for acquiring their degree.
