Graduate Schools in Iowa

University of Iowa

• Graduate School
• Iowa City, IA
• 21 reviews

Graduate Student: Iowa city is a college town which makes it calm without because of a population of around just over 75k. The school has some really advanced resources which puts UIowa ahead in research areas such as AI. We have the biggest driving simulator called National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS) where lot of big companies like Tesla, Toyota invest for research. But my honest problem with the school is with its administration as nothing seems to be clear with certain areas and you have to confirm with the specific department to be sure about certain things. Overall, it is a good experience to go to UIowa. It has also been one of the best part schools across the country.

I got my master's degree at Drake and didn't even consider other schools for my PhD. I had such an amazing experience at Drake then and I am having an even better experience there now!

University of Northern Iowa

• Graduate School
• Cedar Falls, IA
• 8 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!

St. Ambrose University

• Graduate School
• Davenport, IA
• 13 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.

Grand View University

• Graduate School
• Des Moines, IA

Briar Cliff University

• Graduate School
• Sioux City, IA
• 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 However, the main campus is pretty small and outdated.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.

Waldorf University

William Penn University

• Graduate School
• Oskaloosa, IA

Purdue University Global - Davenport Campus

• Graduate School
• Davenport, IA
• 27 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!

Purdue University Global - Cedar Rapids Campus

• Graduate School
• Cedar Rapids, IA

Maharishi University of Management

• Graduate School
• Fairfield, IA
• 4 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.
