Fast Facts

The University of Northern Iowa prides itself on putting “StudentsFirst” and has a reputation for providing exceptional
undergraduate education. Building on its historic excellence in
teacher education, the university has developed outstanding
programs in business, natural sciences, humanities and fine
arts, and social and behavioral sciences. The university’s size — just more than 13,000 students — allows it to offer faculty, facilities, and academic choices of a large university, while retaining a friendly, small-college atmosphere on a compact, park-like campus. With more than 40 major buildings on 940 acres, the campus can still be crossed in an easy 15-minute walk.
