University College Index
Dean: Thomas R. Rocklin
University College is home to a wide range of programs for University of Iowa students and precollege students. It includes major college-level programs such as the University of Iowa Honors Program, Study Abroad, and study at Iowa Lakeside Laboratory. Some of its college-level programs are designed to smooth entering students' transition to college life, such as the College Success Initiatives program, or to provide opportunities for populations underrepresented in the sciences and engineering, such as Iowa Biosciences Advantage and Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate. Special courses for student orientation advisors, residence hall assistants, fraternity and sorority community leaders, and students who design web sites for University departments and offices are offered through University College, as are Lifetime Leisure Skills courses in a broad range of sport and fitness activities. The University's Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, Aerospace Studies and Military Science, reside in University College. Several precollege programs also are under University College's wing: the Belin-Blank Center for Gifted Education, the Iowa Young Writers' Studio, Opportunity at Iowa Summer Programs, the Secondary Student Training Program, and University of Iowa Upward Bound. Courses offered through University College programs are taught by University of Iowa faculty and staff members.
