Iowa State University
Iowa State University, founded in 1858 as the country's first designated land-grant institution under the Morrill Act, has built one of the strongest agricultural and veterinary medicine programs in the country, reflecting its founding role in establishing the entire American land-grant university system. The university's engineering programs benefit from its historical role in early computing research — the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, developed at Iowa State in the late 1930s, is considered by many historians to be the first electronic digital computer, predating better-known later computing developments by several years. Iowa State's design college and its agricultural biotechnology research have built strong national reputations, and the university's continued strength in plant and animal sciences reflects Iowa's position as one of the country's most significant agricultural states economically. The university's combination of founding-era land-grant status, an early and historically significant role in computing history, and its continued agricultural research strength has made Iowa State one of the most institutionally distinctive land-grant universities in the country.
VS
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.
