Online Universities in Iowa

The public universities located in Iowa are overseen by a Board of Regents. This Board is responsible for developing and implementing policies that affect public higher education within the state. The three universities over which it presides are the Iowa State University, the University of Northern Iowa, and the University of Iowa, the latter of which is ranked as No. 71 in U.S. News & World Report‘s national universities rankings. Many private schools, including Drake University and Grand View University, are located in Des Moines.

Iowa is often viewed as a farming state. However, while agriculture does contribute to Iowa’s state output, other industries — such as manufacturing, finance, and government — have a greater effect on the state’s production of goods. Business is also an important contributor to Iowa’s economy. According to CNBC’s state rankings, Iowa is ranked as the No. 6 best state in which to conduct business. It is also ranked as No. 1 for the cost of conducting business.

Due to the strong business and finance environment, it is common for large companies to establish themselves in Iowa. Wells Enterprises and the HON Company are examples of manufacturing companies headquartered in Iowa. Iowa is also home to many other factories and processing facilities, like Heinz and General Mills.
