University of Iowa
Graduate School
Iowa City, IA
Rating 4.57 out of 5 37 reviews
Master's Student: Iowa is a great school for traditional and non traditional students. The admissions process is very competitive and a great fit for diverse applicants. I applied and was initially waitlisted. I found it very worthwhile to be patient and was later fully admitted. They have flexible traditional, weekend, and online graduate school programs.

Des Moines, IA
Rating 4.33 out of 5 12 reviews
Doctoral Student: My overall experience at Drake University has been amazing. I completed my undergrad degree at Drake and now I am attending grad school here for the Occupational Therapy Doctorate Program. Drake University pushes you to be your best in all aspects. Whether is its academics, athletics, extracurriculars, etc., they are looking out for their students best interest. I found life long friends, supportive and caring professors, and lots of opportunities to help me grow as a person, student, and professional.

University of Northern Iowa
Graduate School
Cedar Falls, IA
Rating 4.67 out of 5 12 reviews
Graduate Student: I feel very loved in my program, supported by the college, and I have a myriad of resources. My one complaint is not related to the graduate college itself, but rather UNI as a whole. The campus climate can be boring and disconnected. But as a busy graduate student, that doesn’t affect my studies or experience too much!

Dordt College
Graduate School
Sioux Center, IA
Rating 5 out of 5 2 reviews
Master's Student: Love the professors! There is a lot of discussion board are so much help to learn! Sometimes being online school is really hard and when there’s a video that share screen is causing a lot of confusion and such. It complicated. Why the professors can do some of the PowerPoint or something that makes it more fun than just discussion boards all the way!

St. Ambrose University
Graduate School
Davenport, IA
Rating 4.7 out of 5 23 reviews
Graduate Student: I graduated from St. Ambrose University with my doctorate in physical therapy. Our main building was off campus so I do not feel I can really speak to their athletics or party scene. My class was not very diverse but that did not upset me or made me feel any different. I always felt safe at our building and with the surrounding area. DPT degree is costly but I do not regret my choice to go into PT or the school I went to. I felt my education and the professors there really prepared me for the licensure exam and for the clinical world. The class size is smaller but I chose that because it made me feel more focused.

Rating 4.33 out of 5 6 reviews
Master's Student: I attended Upper Iowa University for my bachelors degree and I was extremely impressed with their involvement with their students and how they put their foot forward to help with whatever they needed to. They have expanded their university and it's a beautiful campus. The entire faculty is personable and very friendly. I cannot wait to get my classes started this fall in the Master of Science in Counseling program.

Briar Cliff University
Graduate School
Sioux City, IA
Rating 4 out of 5 4 reviews
Graduate Student: The physical therapy campus is very nice. However, the main campus is pretty small and outdated. I've enjoyed learning from the faculty very much. However, there have been some issues with faculty retention. The students have also noticed some problems with communication between faculty members and with the students. The program is fairly expensive, but you do get a fairly personal education from the professors who are mainly focused on clinical practice and imparting their knowledge to the students.

Purdue University Global - Davenport Campus
Graduate School
Davenport, IA
Rating 4.59 out of 5 29 reviews
Graduate Student: Classes are set up for busy people trying to further their education but still have a full time career. Workload is heavy but not impossible. You must be very good at time management and self motived. I personally think that traditional classes are easier than online do to the fact you have a teacher to contact or see when needed. Not that you can’t contact your professors but email and calls just don’t quite get you the help you may need; sometimes having a professor and other students to interact with makes classes and projects easier.
Overall, I think Kaplan is amazing! Kaplan is the first online college and also used for LSAT, MCAT, GMAT and Step 1 and 2 for medical board exams.
KAPLAN has online study’s down to a science and I would recommend Kaplan only to anyone pursuing online schooling! I can’t wait to enroll in my next degree!

Maharishi International University
Graduate School
Fairfield, IA
Rating 4.33 out of 5 6 reviews
Graduate Student: The entire student body and all faculty meditate twice a day and this creates a uniquely warm and peaceful atmosphere on campus. It's something intangible but very real, everyone comments on it. My parents noticed it when they were here. The cafeteria is organic, mom-GMO. Everything is geared toward healthy lifestyle and making the most of our mental and physical potential. MUM is not typical, it's far superior! The dorms are all single rooms, not shared, so there's privacy. (Uncommon) Faculty aren't paid much: they're here because they believe in MUM's mission of developing the whole person, through meditation (TM) and wholesome routine. I've loved my years here and feel uniquely qualified from this school to go out and succeed in any environment, because I'm using more of my mental and physical potential!

Senior: Their financial aid helpers and student loan advisers should explain that you only have a certain amount. I am now left to try to figure out how to pay my last two terms without any help.

Rawlings School of Divinity
Liberty University
Graduate School
Lynchburg, VA
Rating 4.8 out of 5 5 reviews
Master's Student: I've enjoyed the rigorous classwork for my pursuit of a Masters of Divinity in Leadership at Liberty University. I attend the online campus and was surprised at how interactive and responsive the professors have been. Often times my professors were not adjust, but were actual professors from the brick and mortar campus. They were just as responsive, if not more responsive. They are currently rewriting some courses and have a clear effort to keep their courses modern. I highly recommend Liberty's Rawlings School of Divinity if you are pursuing ministry of any type. You cannot beat the block pricing for divinity programs.

Graduate Student: On all front Liberty University has provided an ourstanding higher education experience! They have promptly and effectively assisted me from the moment I submitted my graduate program application to the present day as I venture forward in my course work. There were many questions I had in the several week leading up to beginning my first classes. Their admissions, financial aid, and registrar offices all efficiently provided me with the assiatance I needed in a most kind and generous manner, taking the time to ensure my questions were answered. Their knowledge and patient understanding of what I was communicating was top-tier. I have never had another insitution serve me as well as they have.
