Upper Iowa Future Students

You have educational goals. Upper Iowa University wants to help you achieve them—efficiently and effectively—no matter if you’re working in a bustling metropolitan area, raising a family in the suburbs, serving your country on a military base in the States or overseas, graduating from a high school in the Midwest, eager to improve your English by pursuing a U.S.-based degree, or retired and ready for a new challenge.

In addition to our picture-perfect, 150-year-old, tradition-enriched Fayette campus serving nearly 1,000 students in northeast Iowa, we’re a global institution—6,000 students strong—with online, distance education, and independent study programs and education centers across the continental U.S. and in Hawaii, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.

UIU is one of the nation’s most innovative teaching universities, too. We offer two courses at a time over four eight-week terms—an ideal way for you to learn. In fact, UIU has been ranked nationally among the top 10 percent of colleges for enhancing student learning (CLA Learning Report 2007).
