Luther College
Luther College, founded in 1861 by Norwegian Lutheran immigrants, has built one of the strongest undergraduate music programs among liberal arts colleges in the Midwest, and its Nordic Choir has toured internationally, maintaining the college's continued connection to its Norwegian Lutheran founding heritage. The college's small size, around 1,800 undergraduates, and its scenic bluff-top campus overlooking the Upper Iowa River in Decorah give Luther a distinctive natural setting that's become closely tied to the college's outdoor recreation and environmental studies programs. Luther's study-abroad participation rate is among the highest of any liberal arts college in the country, reflecting the college's continued institutional emphasis on global engagement, and its biology and pre-health advising programs have built solid reputations for placing graduates into competitive graduate and medical programs. The college's combination of a nationally respected music program, its Norwegian Lutheran heritage, and its scenic river-bluff campus setting has made Luther a distinctive choice among the Midwest's smaller liberal arts colleges, particularly for students interested in vocal or instrumental music alongside a broader liberal arts education.
VS
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.
