Iowa Colleges

Iowa is also home to some major public universities as well as smaller liberal arts colleges. The big colleges are located in exciting, well-rounded college towns and offer everything you would expect from student filled cities. There is a love of sports of course, but culture and a certain cosmopolitanism you would not expect at the edge of a cornfield.

Iowa Schools by City

Iowa Colleges (continued from top)

Iowa is also home to some major public universities as well as smaller liberal arts colleges. The big colleges are located in exciting, well-rounded college towns and offer everything you would expect from student filled cities. There is a love of sports of course, but culture and a certain cosmopolitanism you would not expect at the edge of a cornfield.

Des Moines, the state capital, has increasingly become a regional capital as well. High tech and businesses beyond agriculture have begun to flourish, offering a destination for students graduating from Iowa colleges and universities. Upon graduation, many Iowa students go to Chicago and everything that world-class city has to offer as well.

Iowa Economy
Though farming gets all the attention (Iowa produces a tenth of the nation's food supply), the value of Iowa's manufactured products is twice that of its agriculture. Major industries are food, products associated with agriculture, non-electrical machinery, electrical equipment, printing and publishing, and fabricated products.

But Iowa does stand in a class by itself as an agricultural state. Its farms sell over $10 billion worth of crops and livestock annually. Iowa leads the nation in all corn, soybean, and hog marketings, and comes in third in total livestock sales. Iowa's forests produce hardwood lumber, particularly walnut, and its mineral products include cement, limestone, sand, gravel, gypsum, and coal.

Iowa Attractions
Tourist attractions include the Herbert Hoover birthplace and library near West Branch; the Amana Colonies; Fort Dodge Historical Museum, Fort, and Stockade; the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines in August; and the Effigy Mounds National Monument, a prehistoric Indian burial site at Marquette.
