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
University of Iowa
The University of Iowa, founded in 1847, is home to the Iowa Writers' Workshop, widely regarded as the most prestigious creative writing MFA program in the country, having produced more Pulitzer Prize winners than any other creative writing program in American higher education. The university's hospital system and medical school rank among the top public academic medical centers in the country, and Iowa was the first public university in the United States to grant a law degree to a woman, in 1873, reflecting a historically early institutional commitment to gender-inclusive professional education. Iowa's college of business and its actuarial science program have built strong regional reputations, and the university's continued investment in creative writing beyond the Writers' Workshop, including its International Writing Program hosting authors from around the world, has made Iowa City a UNESCO City of Literature, one of very few American cities to hold that designation. The university's combination of a genuinely world-leading creative writing program and a strong academic medical center has given Iowa an unusually specific dual identity among American public research universities, drawing students to Iowa City for reasons rarely shared by peer institutions of similar size.
