Undergraduate Admissions
At Iowa, you get all the resources of a major research institution with an emphasis on personal connection and support.
That means you can work directly with faculty members at the top of their fields. You can get hands-on experience and mentorship in every setting from a medical lab to a working, world-class performing arts venue – something other schools may not let you do until graduate school. That’s why Hawkeyes graduate ready to lead.
