Helping students succeed for over 150 years.
Since 1857, Upper Iowa University has been preparing students to succeed—in the classroom and in the world. Our rich history, coupled with a student-centered mission, has created a springboard for UIU to become a recognized innovator in education.
UIU’s reputation grows from our unique course offerings, online learning programs, affordability, and the success stories of our alumni. Our dedication to students can be seen in our opportunities for dual enrollment, traditional, transfer, military, international and graduate students. UIU students often juggle multiple commitments outside of their educational pursuits, and our flexible schedule helps students succeed.
