Drake University
Drake University, founded in 1881, has built a strong national reputation for its journalism and mass communication program, and the university's Drake Relays, one of the oldest and most prestigious collegiate track and field events in the country, has been held continuously on campus since 1910. The university's law school and its Cowles Library have built solid regional reputations, and Drake's location in Des Moines, Iowa's capital and largest city, gives students access to the state's concentration of insurance industry headquarters and government institutions. Drake's role hosting nationally televised presidential debates and campaign events during Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucus season has given the university's political science and journalism programs unusually direct access to national political coverage and campaign infrastructure every four years. The university's combination of a respected journalism program, its historic Drake Relays track and field tradition, and its recurring role in national presidential campaign coverage has made Drake one of the more distinctive mid-sized private universities in the Midwest.
VS
Cornell College
Cornell College, founded in 1853, is best known nationally for its distinctive "One Course At A Time" academic calendar, in which students take and complete a single course over an intensive three-and-a-half-week block before moving to the next, a structure unlike that of virtually any other American college. This block structure lets Cornell schedule immersive field trips, laboratory-intensive coursework, and off-campus study more easily than a traditional semester system would allow, and the college markets the format directly as producing more focused, immersive learning without the divided attention of juggling multiple simultaneous courses. The college's small size, around 1,000 undergraduates, and its historic hilltop campus in Mount Vernon, Iowa, entirely listed on the National Register of Historic Places, give Cornell College a distinctive small-town Midwestern liberal arts setting. Cornell College's block-plan calendar, shared by only a small handful of other American colleges including Colorado College, has made it a distinctive choice among students specifically seeking that particular immersive, single-course-at-a-time academic structure within a small Midwestern liberal arts college.
