Hey there! You're lucky that you're in Iowa, because you've got some great options for studying education. Here are three great institutions in your state:
1. University of Iowa: Its College of Education is well-respected and offers undergraduate programs in several areas including Elementary Education, Art Education, English Education, and many others. An added bonus? The school has a 4-year graduation rate of 59%, which is quite solid.
2. Iowa State University: ISU has a strong School of Education with History/Social Studies Education, Math Education, English/Language Arts Education, and much more. Their Teacher Education program has received multiple awards for its excellence.
