We're one of the top public universities in the United States, but Iowa's success goes beyond rankings. Former Iowa students include the producers of the HBO hit The Sopranos, the creator of the Gallup Poll, and the gymnasts who invented the modern trampoline. In addition, former Iowa students have been pioneers in oceanography, fluoride use, gene therapy, and audio recording. Others went on to lead multinational corporations, including Exxon, Bandag, and Hon Industries.Our distinguished faculty has included more than a dozen Pulitzer Prize winners, the scientist who discovered the radiation belts surrounding the Earth, one of the nation's leading experts in musculoskeletal joint mechanics, and the man who invented a non-surgical treatment for infants born with clubfoot. Iowa was the first school in the nation to admit women and men on an equal basis, the first to grant a PhD in chemical engineering to an African American woman, and the first to grant a degree in political science to an African American woman. Also, the U.S. Army's first female Judge Advocate General graduated from Iowa's College of Law. For a closer look at the track record of Iowa students after graduation, check out these links:
