Alumni Worldwide
Upper Iowa University is committed to offering accessible higher education and lifelong learning opportunities to fit the needs of today’s veterans, military personnel, and their families. With one in five UIU students being military affiliated, we understand the importance of offering flexible schedules, accessible courses, and affordable degrees to the Total Military Family.
Upper Iowa University is proud of its association with the U.S. armed services and the opportunity it gives us to enhance the leadership potential of servicemembers and their families. No matter where servicemembers are in the world – at home, on a military installation, or in the field, sea, or air- they can begin or continue their studies at Upper Iowa.
Military spouses and dependents are often required to move to new locations, which can make it difficult to achieve your educational goals. To help keep you on track, UIU offers flexible and affordable educational opportunities.
Upper Iowa University is proud of its association with the Department of Education of the State of Iowa and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
