What we offer
One advantage of attending a university with as many course offerings as Iowa is that you can find lots of variety, flexibility, and special challenges in the curriculum.

• Lots of options. More Than 100 Areas of Study allow you to find your niche or pull courses from other areas to create your own field of study.
• Distinguished faculty. Top Professors in many fields are eager to be mentors to promising students.
• Research opportunities for undergraduates. Getting involved in Research is a great way to get more out of your education.
• Inspiring courses. Honors Courses offer challenging seminars or discussion groups led by top faculty members.
• Extra attention. Programs for First-Year Students cover advanced topics in small, discussion sessions and help you find study partners. Programs for Transfer Students help you make connections on campus, and make the transition from another school.
• Small class sizes. Attending a large university doesn't mean all of your classes will be large. Class Sizes vary, but most of our classes have fewer than 30 students.
