Undergraduate and Professional Degree Programs

The university is organized into nine colleges, including the Graduate College. Seven colleges offer undergraduate degree programs, and the College of Veterinary Medicine offers the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. For a listing of the more than 100 majors offered by the Graduate College, see the summary at the end of the Graduate College section of this publication.

Iowa State University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association.

The main undergraduate academic programs of each college are listed below, together with the degrees awarded upon completion. In many cases certain majors, minors, options, or electives allow for increased specialization within the programs. Programs which are administered jointly by two colleges are listed within both colleges.

At the time this catalog went to press, the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, had just approved Iowa State University's request to combine the College Education and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences into one administrative unit. As of July 1, 2005, all academic programs and majors listed with these two colleges will be offered under the College of Human Sciences.
