University of Northern Iowa
The University of Northern Iowa (UNI) is a medium-sized regional public university that was founded as a teacher’s college (“normal school”) but has grown into a comprehensive university that offers 90 undergraduate and 50 graduate programs. UNI has been recognized as a “Best Business School” with AACSB accreditation and is also known for strong programs in education, natural sciences, social sciences, and the arts and an accredited Culture and Intensive English Program.
Almost all UNI students gain experience in the field before they graduate through internships, research, or student club participation. As a result, 96% of UNI students reported being employed or in graduate school within six months of graduating. As a medium-sized university, it has a small-school atmosphere, with only an average of 27 students per class, and is in a friendly university community.
The 370-hectare park-like campus features more than 65 major buildings within a 10-minute walking distance of each other and was found to be one of the safest campuses in the U.S..
