The University of Iowa has been recognized as a top college in Iowa for students interested in military service.
The College Database has released its list of top colleges for future service members in Iowa. The website set out to find the post-secondary institutions in Iowa that were both affordable—with an annual tuition of less than $20,000 and that offered at least two ROTC programs —Army, Navy, or Air Force.
The UI ranks second in the state of Iowa with an affordable $6,436 annual tuition rate, and ROTC programs for Army and Air Force.
The College Database is a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to provide free information about educational options both nationally and locally to students, parents, and other interested parties. This goal is accomplished by making all information and tools on the site free and easy to access.
The UI has an estimated 100 ROTC Army students and 70 ROTC Air Force students, including incoming freshmen this fall. There are also an estimated 518 UI student veterans on campus.
The UI has also made Victory Media's list of Military Friendly Schools for four consecutive years.
