TOM BROKAW, HONORARY
DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS:
An iconic figure in broadcast journalism,
Tom Brokaw was anchor and managing
editor of the NBC Nightly News for more
than two decades. Over his remarkable career, he reported on many of the signature
events of our era live and on-the-scene,
from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the World
Trade Center terrorist attack. Mr. Brokaw
began his college education at The University of Iowa in 1958 and graduated from
the University of South Dakota with a major in political science. His many honors
include the Edward R. Murrow Lifetime
Achievement Award, the Emmy Award
for Lifetime Achievement, and inductions
into the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences and the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame.
Today, Mr. Brokaw continues to produce
documentaries on major social and political
issues, and he has become a noted author
of contemporary history books, including
The Greatest Generation and Boom!: Voices of
the 60s.
Honorary degrees have been awarded to
the following individuals:

poets. He has won the Pulitzer Prize,
the National Book Award, two National
Book Critics Circle Awards, two PEN/
BABRA Translation Awards (for his work
with Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz), and a
MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship. As U.S.
Poet Laureate from 1995-1997, Mr. Hass
emphasized literacy and ecological awareness. He helped organize the “Watershed”
project, through which writers and environmentalists taught inner-city children,
and founded the “River of Words” poetry
contest for schoolchildren. Mr. Hass is
professor of English at the University of
California-Berkeley and was chancellor of
the Academy of American Poets from 2001
to 2007. He has frequently been a visiting

JOHN PAPPAJOHN, Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters: A recipient
of the Horatio Alger Award and an Iowa
Business Hall of Fame inductee, John
Pappajohn is one of Iowa’s and the nation’s leading philanthropists and venture
capitalists. His vision and generosity have
transformed health care, empowered entrepreneurs, and brought the arts to life. Mr.
Pappajohn began running his immigrant
family’s Mason City grocery store at age
16. A 1952 University of Iowa business
graduate, he founded the Guardsman Life
Insurance Company; Equity Dynamics,
Inc., a financial consulting firm for which
he still serves as President; and one of the
earliest venture capital firms, Pappajohn
Capital Resources. Education has always
6
been at the forefront of Mr. Pappajohn’s
efforts. He spearheaded the nationally
acclaimed Pappajohn Entrepreneurial
Centers at five Iowa colleges and universities, including the UI. Mr. Pappajohn and
his wife Mary have profoundly influenced
the UI in the areas of student scholarships,
business, medicine, and health care. In
2009, the Pappajohns made the largest
single gift commitment to date from individual Iowa donors to support the groundbreaking Pappajohn Biomedical Institute
and Pappajohn Biomedical Discovery
Building now under construction at the UI.
C. VIVIAN STRINGER, Honorary
Doctor of Humane Letters:
C. Vivian Stringer was the University of
Iowa’s women’s basketball coach from
1983-1995 and is currently the head coach
at Rutgers University. She is the thirdwinningest Division I women’s coach of
all time and was the first coach—male or
female—to take teams at three different
schools (including one UI team) to the
NCAA Final Four. Coach Stringer has been
inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall
of Fame, the International Women’s Sports
Hall of Fame, and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. She has been
named National Coach of the Year three
times, one of the 101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports, and one of the 100 Most
Influential Sports Educators in America.
As Coach Stringer states in her New York
Times best-selling autobiography, “I am
the last stop before the young women I
coach take their place in society, and it
is a responsibility I take seriously.” Her
pioneering work in coaching, education,
and character-building has opened the way
for all women, including women of color,
to succeed on the national stage.
GREGS THOMOPULOS, Honorary Doctor of Science: Gregs
Thomopulos is CEO and Chairman of the
Board of Directors of Stanley Consultants,
Inc., of Muscatine, Iowa, one of the largest
engineering firms in the U.S., providing
engineering, environmental, and construction services worldwide. Mr. Thomopulos
started his career with Stanley in 1965 as
an engineering intern, and in 1978 became
Vice President of the International Division. Under his leadership, Stanley has
made outstanding contributions in the
engineering field—from bringing electricity to the Philippines and safe water to
Egypt, to helping to restore Kuwait after
the Gulf War, to designing a state-of-the-art
chemical weapons destruction analytical
laboratory in Russia. Mr. Thomopulos has
shared much time, talent, and experience as speaker and mentor to students at
Iowa’s Regents Universities, and he has
generously provided scholarship, research,
and facilities support.

Henry B. Tippie
College of Business
The University of Iowa first offered
courses in economics and business in 1858.
The School of Commerce was formally
established in 1914 and the College of Business Administration, which was founded
in 1921, received national accreditation in
1923. The College was renamed the Henry
B. Tippie College of Business
in 1999. Today, there are more than 3,000
students in the College working toward
Bachelor of Business Administration
(B.B.A.), Master of Accountancy (M.Ac.),
Master of Business Administration
(M.B.A.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees.
The Undergraduate Program provides a

Henry B. Tippie
School of
Management
Created by Dean Sidney Winter in 1960,
the Master of Business Administration
(M.B.A.) Program at The University of
Iowa was “born into a secure future as
the College’s flagship.” Now, boasting
enrollment of more than 1,000 students,
the M.B.A. Program is recognized as being
among the top programs in the world.
The M.B.A. Program at the Henry B.
Tippie School of Management provides its
students the opportunity to broaden their
managerial skills and enhance their professional careers in the business or public sector. The curriculum is designed for college
graduates in any field but emphasizes the
importance of professional work experience prior to enrollment.
Students have the option of pursuing the
M.B.A. degree on campus through the Fulltime M.B.A. Program, part-time through
the M.B.A. for Professionals and Managers
(M.B.A.-PM), or via the Executive M.B.A.
or the International M.B.A. programs.
M.B.A.-PM classes are offered in the Quad
Cities, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines.
Students may pursue the Executive M.B.A.
program in Iowa City. The International
M.B.A. Program is based in Hong Kong
and Italy and has more than 100 alumni.
More than 250 companies are currently
represented in the Tippie programs designed for working professionals.
The School participates in several jointdegree programs for students enrolled
full-time. These include the M.B.A./J.D.
Program with the College of Law, the
M.B.A./M.D. Program with the Carver
College of Medicine, and the M.B.A./
M.H.A. Program with the College of Public
Health.
More than 7,000 graduates now hold an
M.B.A. degree from The Henry B. Tippie
School of Management. Successful alumni
can be found worldwide, in every facet of
today’s global economy.
College of
Dentistry
Dental education began at The University of Iowa in 1882 with 14 students, four
faculty members, and a first year’s budget
of just over $1,000. Patients were treated in
an improvised clinic equipped with borrowed barber chairs. Today the College of
Dentistry is ranked among the leading dental schools in the United States. An integral
part of The University of Iowa Health Sciences Center, the College enrolls dental students and advanced education and graduate students in programs representing all
the dental specialties as well as master’s
and Ph.D. programs in oral science.
The Dental Science Building affords
faculty and students of the college excellent facilities for their many programs of
research into the nature and treatment of
oral diseases. These investigations have resulted in a number of significant advances
in dental science.
Faculty, postdoctoral and predoctoral
students extend service to hundreds of
thousands of Iowa citizens in the patientcare clinics of the Dental Science Building. Students also provide dental care to
Iowa communities through the College’s
extramural programs in hospitals, community health centers and nursing homes.
Dental health educational presentations are
regularly provided by dental students in
schools, nursing homes and other locations
throughout the state.
The College has a long history of graduating students who become nationally
prominent clinicians, dental educators, and
researchers. More than 3,000 living alumni
perpetuate the College’s tradition of excellence as they distinguish themselves with
contributions to their professions and our
society.

College of
Education
The University of Iowa College of Education traces its roots to the founding of the
University itself. Teacher training was the
only program specifically called for in the
1847 statute creating the “State University
of Iowa.” This teacher training program
was popular with students, enrolling more
than half the University’s students during
its first decade of existence and never having given preference to men over women
in enrollment.
In addition to being the University’s first
and only continuously operating program,
the College of Education was also the nation’s first to develop a permanent collegelevel department of education and the first
to establish a professorial chair of education at a U.S. university.
The College of Education continues
this tradition of placing education first, as
exemplified through its innovative teaching methods, ground-breaking research,
and wide-reaching service. Today, as in the
past, top-notch students who score higher
than the national average on GPA, GRE,
and the Praxis I exam come to the College
because they want to make a difference in
this world. They gain the skills necessary to
excel both academically and professionally.
Graduates can be found serving as teachers, principals, counselors, testing specialists, psychologists, and educational leaders
in a variety of fields in almost every Iowa
school district, in every state in the nation,
and in countries throughout the world.
Currently, the College enrolls more than
500 teacher education undergraduate students (more than 60 percent from Iowa) in
programs that prepare them for licensure
in special education, elementary education,
and eight secondary education areas.
Approximately 600 graduate students
are enrolled in a wide range of programs
that consistently rank among the top tier
by U.S. News & World Report.
The College of Education is a national
leader in technology. Its history of embracing technology to empower learning stems
from such practical inventions as the first
automated scoring machine to recent advancements infusing multimedia into the
teacher training program with the ePortfolioTM project. From nationally recognized
literacy projects to internationally renowned testing instruments, the College’s
84 tenure-track faculty produce meaningful
and applicable research, working closely
with practitioners and the education community to improve our lives in countless
ways.
74
The College of Education has four academic departments: Counseling, Rehabilitation, and Student Development; Educational Policy and Leadership Studies; Psychological and Quantitative Foundations;
and Teaching and Learning. In addition,
the College of Education is home to several
centers that provide invaluable resources
throughout the world: the internationally renowned Iowa Testing Programs;
the Connie Belin and Jacqueline N. Blank
International Center for Gifted Education
and Talent Development; the Center for
Evaluation and Assessment; the Center for
Advanced Studies in Measurement and
Assessment; the Center for Research on
Undergraduate Education; and the Iowa
Center for Assistive Technology Education
and Research.
The College of Education remains proud
of its long and distinguished role in preparing the next generation of educational
leaders.
College of
Engineering
Engineering is a profession devoted to
applying knowledge of the mathematical
and natural sciences to the discovery and
development of efficient ways to use the
materials and forces of nature for the benefit of society.
Career opportunities in engineering are
numerous and diverse. In preparing men
and women for these opportunities, The
University of Iowa College of Engineering
seeks to produce high-calibre professionals
with interdisciplinary interests and strong
backgrounds in engineering fundamentals.
It offers students engineering education in
the context of a diversified university with
a strong College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and outstanding professional colleges.
With educational courses dating back
more than 100 years, the College today
has an enrollment of about 1,765 students—1,411 of whom are undergraduates.
About 65 percent of undergraduate enrollment comes from the state of Iowa, with
another 33 percent attending from contiguous states. Women make up approximately
21 percent of undergraduates.
There are 87 faculty serving six undergraduate programs in biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering.
Student achievement has become a hallmark of the College. Average ACT scores
are consistently in the top 10th
percentile.
Even though engineering students
represent only 5.8 percent of University
enrollment, they are awarded many top
first-year merit scholarships. Since 1980,
25 engineering students have earned the
prestigious University Hancher-Finkbine
Medallion for achievement and leadership.
The College is the first in the U.S. to offer a
Technological Entrepreneurship Certificate
with an engineering degree.
The college offers graduate programs
in biomedical, chemical and biochemical, civil and environmental, electrical
and computer, industrial, and mechanical
engineering. Research units of the college
include the Center for Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology, Center for Computer-Aided Design, IIHR—Hydroscience
and Engineering, and the Iowa Institute for
Biomedical Imaging.
Graduate College
The University of Iowa’s Graduate College was founded in 1900 and that year
awarded its first doctorate to Fred D. Merritt in political science. Since then, it has
conferred 73,496 master’s, 530 specialist,
and 18,786 doctoral degrees. With more
than 5,600 students, the college now accounts for nearly one-fifth of the University’s total enrollment, in more than 100
different programs of advanced study,
research, and artistic creation. The Graduate College is a proud supporter of interdisciplinary programs, including a unique,
individualized interdisciplinary studies
doctorate program.
All faculty members with professorial
rank in the academic divisions of the University hold membership on the Graduate
College faculty; thus, almost all of the University’s 1,679 faculty members participate
in graduate instruction. Because academic
programs involve specialists from different disciplines and because many faculty
members hold appointments in more than
one department, school, or college, graduate instruction is assured a healthy interaction and collaboration among disciplines.
A number of the University’s graduate
programs are recognized as the finest, or
among the finest, in the nation. The Graduate College boasts five winners of the
prestigious UMI/CGS Dissertation Prize,
the most awarded to any doctoral institution since the inception of the award. In
2001 the college inaugurated its Graduate
College Outstanding Mentor Awards. The
awards for the 2009-10 academic year were
made to Professors Ed Folsom, English;
and Jeffrey Murray, Pediatrics, in recognition of their outstanding contributions to
graduate education.
College of Law
The University of Iowa College of Law is
the oldest law school in continuous operation west of the Mississippi. Established in
Des Moines in 1865, it was moved to Iowa
City in 1868 to become part of the University. Today it has an enrollment of more
than 550 students and a faculty of approximately 50 full-time teachers. While most
of its students come from the Midwest, 93
colleges and universities were represented
in the 2009 entering class.
The College’s educational objectives are
to help each student learn the fundamentals of critical reading and logical analysis,
oral and written communication and argumentation, research, interviewing and
counseling, technical drafting, transaction
planning, and litigation.
First-year students spend part of their
time in large classes, participating with
their teachers in a Socratic dialogue—a
method of questioning designed to develop
and exercise analytical abilities and argumentation skills. Legal Analysis, Writing
and Research provides each student with
individual attention in a small class format
each semester. This course is taught by
instructors dedicated to this specialty area
of legal instruction.
In the second and third years, seminars,
tutorials, clinical assignments, independent
research, writing for the College’s legal
journals, oral advocacy competitions, as
well as the Citizen Lawyer Program and
litigation skills training all supplement
more traditionally taught courses. Aside
from the skills instruction, the curriculum
focuses on the overriding importance of
high personal standards of ethics and professional responsibility and their role in
guiding the behavior of lawyers.
College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences invites students to explore the entire
range of human learning: the fine arts, the
humanities, the social sciences, the natural
and mathematical sciences. Our students
work with faculty members who are committed to integrating their research into
their teaching and to helping students develop their own capacity to ask significant
questions, to think analytically, to draw
conclusions from what they learn, and to
discover workable solutions to problems.
These skills, honed throughout the undergraduate experience, will form the basis for
life-long success and learning. We seek to
prepare our graduates to be knowledgeable
citizens and to enable them to continually
acquire the new information and skills they
will need to meet the challenges of our
continually changing world.
Although a liberal arts and sciences
education has been available since The
University of Iowa first began offering
instruction in 1855, the “College of Liberal
Arts” was not created until the beginning
of the 1900-01 academic year. In the years
that followed, other colleges evolved out of
that first college: Engineering in 1905, Education in 1913, and Commerce (now the
Tippie College of Business) in 1921. In fall
2001, The College of Liberal Arts became
“The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,”
a name that encompasses the breadth of
the College’s teaching and research.
In 1900-01, the College had about 600
students in its four “courses of study,” and
a faculty consisting of only 28 professors
and assistant professors. Today, more than
16,500 undergraduates are enrolled every
year. Over 90 percent of all UI undergraduates begin their studies in the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and we award
more than 70 percent of the University’s
undergraduate degrees. Our students
choose to major in one—or more—of nearly 60 different programs leading to a B.A.,
B.L.S., B.S., B.M, or B.F.A. degree. Many of
our students add minors and certificates
to their degrees, further expanding their
knowledge and skills.
More than 600 tenured and tenure-track
faculty members form more than three
dozen separate departments and work
together in numerous interdisciplinary
programs to provide research, teaching and
service to our students, the state, and the
world. Faculty members from every area
of the College have developed national and
international reputations for the quality of
their research and creative work. Every
year, members of our faculty are recognized by national and international foundations, earning Fulbright, Guggenheim,
National Endowment for the Arts, National
Institutes of Health, and National Science
Foundation fellowships and other awards.
They receive recognition and awards from
disciplinary organizations as well. Here on
campus, CLAS faculty members routinely
win University-wide teaching awards—including the prestigious Hubbard Award
for Exemplary Teaching for each of the
five years it has been awarded—as well
as other recognition of their teaching and
scholarship.
Our students are also recognized for
their achievements. Every year, more than
200 College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
students graduate “with honors” in their
major. Even more graduate “with distinction,” “with high distinction,” or “with
highest distinction.” Our students participate in departmental honors societies, and
in national honor societies including Phi
Beta Kappa, Mortar Board, and Omicron
Delta Kappa. We are pleased to recognize
student achievement in other ways, too.
Each year, the College provides many
scholarships recognizing student achievement. We also provide research funding
for undergraduates, including the Dewey
Stuit Fund in Liberal Arts & Sciences,
which provides support for undergraduate
travel, research, and mentoring projects.
The College collaborates with other University units to foster scholarship, teaching,
and service. We work with every one of
the other colleges, offering joint programs
and course work, and providing students
opportunities for collaborative research
and other learning activities. We support
and are supported by the Pomerantz Career Center in providing internships before
graduation and career guidance after
graduation. We are grateful to the many
alumni who continue to support the College with their time and energy and who
have helped to provide funding to create
opportunities and scholarships for our
students.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
is proud of our history and our current
endeavors, remaining dedicated to the mission of the College: to advance scholarly
and creative endeavor through leadingedge research and artistic production; to
use this research and creativity to enhance
undergraduate, graduate, and professional
education, health care, and other services
provided to the people of Iowa, the nation, and the world; and to conduct these
activities in a culturally diverse, humane,
technologically advanced and increasingly
global environment.

Carver
College of Medicine
The University of Iowa Carver College of
Medicine admits students to the four-year
Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) program. In addition, the College is home to the physical
therapy, physician assistant, and medical
scientist training programs. The College
offers joint-degree programs with the Colleges of Law, Business and Public Health.
Its faculty members also provide instruction to several thousand students each
year from the Graduate College, the colleges of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, and
Public Health, and the life science areas of
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The clinical faculty additionally provides
instruction for nearly 600 physicians in
residency and fellowship training in all the
medical and surgical specialties.
Each year, several thousand physicians
and other health professionals update their
knowledge and skills in the College’s continuing medical education programs.
Medical students in the College participate in clinical rotations that are coordinated by six regional medical education sites
across the state. About 415 physicians in
Iowa communities served as preceptors for
the UI Carver College of Medicine during
the past two academic years. All medical
students and physician assistant students
do part of their clinical training at these
off-campus sites.
The spectrum of new knowledge in
medicine is such that health care problems
need to be approached by an integration of
relevant disciplines and a melding of faculty expertise into groups of scholars with
a common purpose.
UI Carver College of Medicine researchers are leaders in the areas of biomedical
imaging, cancer, cardiovascular disease,
brain imaging and neurosciences, cystic fibrosis, hearing loss and deafness, muscular
dystrophy, macular degeneration and other
blinding eye diseases, and Huntington’s
disease. Carver College of Medicine investigators have been successful in obtaining
external support, which contributes to the
University’s ranking of 11th in National
Institutes of Health awards among all
public universities. The research funding
and reputation emanate from the efforts of
faculty and staff, students, and postdoctoral trainees working in the laboratories
of some of the nation’s premier biomedical
scientists in leading interdisciplinary research and training programs.

College of Nursing
The University of Iowa College of Nursing
has offered basic nursing education since
the turn of the 20th century and baccalaureate and master’s degree programs for more
than 50 years. A Ph.D. program in nursing
began in 1988. The College is an integral part
of the health sciences campus, sharing in
and contributing to teaching, research, and
patient-care resources, which have earned
international recognition.
Undergraduate students enter the nursing
program after completing the pre-professional course. Six semesters of study in nursing
are required to complete the undergraduate
degree.
All senior undergraduates have a clinical
internship that facilitates the transition from
student to staff nurse. Internships are supervised by 300 staff nurse preceptors across
the state.
Special program options are available
for registered nurses pursuing the BSN.
Registered nurses may study on campus or
in satellite centers in several locations in the
state.
The Entry into Practice MSN: Clinical
Nurse Leader Program is a post-baccalaureate program for people who are interested in
pursuing a nursing career. This pre-licensure
program prepares students as entry-level
nurses who are eligible to sit for the NCLEX
licensure exam.
The master’s degree program provides
a flexible curriculum tailored to meet individual career goals for advanced clinical
practice. The Master of Science in Nursing
(M.S.N.) degree is available with preparation for certification as a nurse practitioner,
psychiatric/mental health nurse specialist or
nurse anesthetist. Master’s level programs of
study are available with preparation in nursing systems administration, education, genetics, and occupational health. A joint degree is
offered in collaboration with the College of
Public Health.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.)
degree program is a clinical doctorate which
prepares advanced practice nurses for leadership roles by educating them in evidencebased practice, economics, finance, and policy. D.N.P. prepared nurses have the skill set
to make meaningful decisions within their
practices and at the business/policy level.
The Doctor of Philosophy degree program
provides learning and research opportunities
in gerontological nursing, child and family
nursing, informatics, or nursing service administration. An individualized option is also
available. Faculty research in these areas and
others is well-supported by external funding
and offers students a broad array of support.
Students may also pursue an individualized
program of study.
College of
Pharmacy
The College was originated by a forward-thinking group of pharmacists from
the Iowa Pharmaceutical Association in
1885 and was one of the first Colleges of
Pharmacy in the nation associated with
a major public university. This nationally
ranked program is located in the Health
Sciences Center on the west side of the University’s main campus in close proximity
to the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Public Health and The University of
Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
The pharmacy profession is concerned
with a wide variety of activities, from
developing new drug products to dispensing medicines to patients. An important
concept in the delivery of pharmacy care
is medical therapy management—the
responsible provision of drug therapy to
achieve defined outcomes that improve
patients’ quality of life. These outcomes
include preventing, arresting, or curing a
disease, and/or eliminating or reducing its
symptoms. In order to carry out these responsibilities, pharmacists specialize in the
science of drugs and drug information.
Iowa’s pharmacy students study with
professors who are pioneering the development of new drugs to solve chronic health
problems and exploring means to improve
the safety and effectiveness of current
drugs. The College is also home to a drug
research and manufacturing area where
experimental drugs are produced for testing and licensing by manufacturers before
being introduced worldwide.
The Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree combines didactic course work with
extensive pharmacy practice experience to
prepare a pharmacist for an expanded role
in monitoring, evaluating, and optimizing
drug therapy in hospitalized and ambulatory patients. Students graduating from the
college enjoy a wide variety of professional
opportunities in community pharmacy,
hospital pharmacy, government, and the
pharmaceutical industry.
The College also has an extensive research and graduate education program
leading to both master’s and doctoral
degrees in medicinal and natural products
chemistry, pharmaceutics, clinical pharmaceutical sciences, and pharmaceutical
socioeconomics. Graduates of these programs are employed by the pharmaceutical
industry, government and also assume
academic positions. The College also offers
a joint degree program with the College of
Public Health.
College of Public
Health
Formed in 1999, the College of Public
Health is the newest collegiate unit at The
University of Iowa. Building on the University’s long tradition of public health
training, research, and service—including
programs targeting agricultural safety and
health, birth defects and cancer monitoring, health services planning, and women's
health—the establishment of this college
marked a renewed and expanded commitment to improving the health of all
Iowans and people throughout the world.
Public health is an interdisciplinary field
made up of a wide range of professionals, including physicians, nurses, dentists,
pharmacists, social workers, nutritionists,
environmental scientists, health educators,
biostatisticians, epidemiologists, health
service administrators, and many others.
What unites public health practitioners is
the shared goal of preventing disease and
injury and promoting healthy practices
among entire populations.
The College of Public Health includes
the Departments of Biostatistics, Community and Behavioral Health, Epidemiology, Health Management and Policy, and
Occupational and Environmental Health.
Four graduate degrees are offered: Master
of Health Administration, Master of Public
Health, Master of Science, and Doctor of
Philosophy. Several public health combined-degree options are available with
other UI colleges, including Business, Law,
Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy, as well
as the College of Veterinary Medicine at
Iowa State University. An interdisciplinary
program in human toxicology is available
as is an occupational medicine residency
program. There are also opportunities for
distance learning and certificate programs
in public health. More than 25 centers and
institutes based in the college provide
focused research on critical public health
topics and deliver outreach, service, and
policy activities. Approximately 400 students are enrolled in educational programs
within the College of Public Health. The
college is accredited by the Council on
Education for Public Health (CEPH), the
accrediting body for the nation’s schools
and colleges of public health.
University College
Graduation Honors
The 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,
Career Center Programs, Lifetime Leisure
Skills, and a degree program leading to the
Bachelor of Applied Studies (B.A.S.). The
B.A.S. is designed for graduates of community college technical programs who wish
to complete a bachelor’s degree without
interrupting their careers. Students work
with an advisor to plan their own emphasis
areas. B.A.S. students may plan programs
designed to help them advance in their
chosen career, begin a new career, or prepare for graduate or professional study.
High scholastic achievement is recognized at graduation time in two ways:
graduation with distinction, based on
grades only, and graduation with honors
in a particular field, based upon both
grades and the completion of special work
as outlined by the college and the major
department.
Graduation with Distinction. The Office
of the Registrar certifies to the deans of the
colleges the names of students eligible to
graduate with distinction. To be eligible for
consideration, the graduate must complete
the final 60 semester hours in residence in
the graduating college, at least 45 semester
hours of which must have been completed
prior to the final semester of registration.
The grade-point average upon which distinction is determined includes all work
undertaken prior to the opening of the final
session.
Graduates with distinction in the colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Business rank as follows:
With Highest Distinction
Highest 2%
With High Distinction
Next Highest 3%
With Distinction
Next Highest 5%
In the undergraduate programs in the
College of Medicine, distinction recognition
is determined as follows:
With Highest Distinction
3.85 GPA or above
With High Distinction
3.75-3.84 GPA
With Distinction
3.65-3.74 GPA
In the College of Nursing, distinction
recognition is determined as follows:
With Highest Distinction
3.90 GPA or above
With High Distinction
3.80-3.89 GPA
With Distinction
3.75-3.79 GPA
In the College of Pharmacy, distinction
recognition is determined as follows:
With Highest Distinction
4.0 GPA or above
With High Distinction
3.75-3.99 GPA
With Distinction
3.50-3.74 GPA
Distinction is designated by gold stars
worn on the left sleeve. Three stars indicate graduation with highest distinction; two,
with high distinction; and one, with distinction.
Graduation with Honors Degrees. An
honors student may complete work for an
honors degree in one of many fields of concentration. Honors students are admitted
to work in candidacy for an honors degree,
normally not later than the junior year,
upon application to and formal acceptance
by the department of their choice. At the
option of the department, the special honors work may be planned as an addition to
the regular requirements for the major or in
substitution for some part of these requirements.
Liberal Arts and Sciences candidates
who are graduating with honors in a particular field wear white cordons draped
over the shoulders.

Academic Costume
The history of academic dress reaches
far back into the early days of the oldest
universities. A statute of 1321 required that
all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of
the University of Coimbra wear gowns. It
is still a vexing question whether academic
dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in secular dress. Gowns may have
been necessary for warmth in the unheated
buildings frequented by medieval scholars.
Hoods seem to have served to cover the
tonsured head until they were superseded
for that purpose by the skull cap. This was
itself displaced by a headdress more or less
like one or another of those now recognized as “academic.”
Over the many years of development, a
great diversity of academic apparel made
its appearance. When American colleges
and universities desired to adopt some
suitable system of academic apparel more
than a century ago, it seemed to them best
to agree on some definite system which
all might follow. Accordingly, there was
held on May 16, 1895 at Columbia University a conference of representatives of
the governing boards of various interested
institutions. The outgrowth of that meeting
was the establishment of “The Academic
Costume Code.” The code has been revised
several times since its initial approval. The
most recent change was in 1959. In nearly
every instance of the many hundreds of
colleges and universities of the United
States which have adopted academic dress,
the standards thus prescribed have been
adopted and followed, either wholly or at
least in the main.
The academic costume code recognizes
three styles of gowns: a bachelor’s gown,
a master’s gown, and a doctor’s gown. In
conjunction with its centennial celebration
in May 2000, the Graduate College inaugurated a new doctor’s gown. The differences
in these gowns are mainly in the cut and
shape of the sleeves and in the trimming.
Hoods are also recognized for each of the
above degrees. They vary in shape, size,
and length, the larger and more elaborate
designating the doctoral level. The shell of
the hood matches the black material of the
gown, and is lined with the color or colors
of the institution conferring the degree—in
the instance of The University of Iowa, old
gold. The velvet border of the hood is of a
color indicative of the field of learning to
which the degree pertains. An abbreviated
list of these colors as they apply to The
University of Iowa follows:
Arts and Letters, white
Business and Accounting, sapphire blue
Dentistry, lilac
Engineering, orange
Law, purple
Medicine, green
Music, pink
Nursing, apricot
Pharmacy, olive green
Philosophy, dark blue
Science, golden yellow
The Oxford cap, proper for all degrees, is
worn both indoors and outdoors with academic costume. The tassel, worn over the
left eye, is also symbolic of the degree to be
conferred on the wearer and conforms to
the code colors for hood trimming.
Practice at The University of Iowa varies
slightly from that established by the code.
Candidates for degrees may be identified
with the colleges from which they are to
secure their degrees by the color of the tassels they wear. Colleges are designated by
tassel colors as follows:
Business, sapphire blue
Dentistry, lilac
Engineering, orange
Graduate, black
Law, purple
Liberal Arts and Sciences, white
Medicine, green
Nursing, apricot
Pharmacy, olive green
Only candidates for the doctoral-level
degrees (Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of
Audiology, Doctor of Musical Arts, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Doctor of Dental
Surgery, Doctor of Medicine, Juris Doctor,
and Doctor of Pharmacy) wear hoods. The
velvet trim on the hoods for these degrees
conforms to the colors set forth in the intercollegiate code, and, with the exception
of the Doctor of Philosophy, the Doctor of
Musical Arts, the Doctor of Audiology and
the Doctor of Physical Therapy hoods, are
the same color as the tassel. The Doctor
of Audiology and the Doctor of Physical
Therapy are trimmed in teal. The Doctor
of Philosophy hood is trimmed in blue, the
color appropriate to philosophy, and the
Doctor of Musical Arts hood is trimmed in
pink, the color for music. In all four cases,
the tassel worn is black.
Presidential Emblem
The jeweled gold medallion worn by
The University of Iowa president during
commencement ceremonies and other formal academic events on the campus was
designed as an emblem of the University’s
presidency by a UI graduate student in
the School of Art and Art History, Karen
Cantine.
Featuring an abstract UI motif in the
University’s colors—old gold and black—
the emblem was first used in the investiture of Howard R. Bowen as the University’s fourteenth president during inauguration ceremonies on December 5, 1964.
Four and one-half inches in diameter,
the medallion is worn on a gold chain also
designed and made by Mrs. Cantine. Fashioning the emblem from a sheet of 14-carat
yellow gold, Mrs. Cantine outlined in black
enamel eight UI motifs in raised gold letters in areas radiating from a large topaz in
the center.
The central jewel is almost an inch in
diameter. A slightly smaller topaz is set in
the link which attaches the emblem to the
chain on which it is worn, and eight small
topazes are set around the edge of the emblem, one being placed at the end of each
“spoke’’ which bears a UI motif.
Designing and making the presidential
emblem was part of Mrs. Cantine’s work
for a Master of Arts degree in metalwork
and jewelry.
The University of Iowa prohibits discrimination in
