Welcome to UNI

Welcome to the University of Northern Iowa, and thank you for visiting UNI online.

At UNI, our purpose is to positively impact society through the lives of our students, alumni, and employees by helping every student and employee reach their educational, professional, and personal life goals.

Our students tell us that UNI is unique in possessing the facilities, resources, and opportunities of a large university while providing personalized attention and support to students. UNI is consistently recognized nationally for the high quality, affordable education we provide our students and the incredible impact of our university on the individuals, communities, and businesses we serve. We are proud to offer distinguished academic programs across a variety of disciplines in business, education, fine and performing arts, humanities, and the natural, social, and health sciences.

At the University of Northern Iowa, we value a true sense of kindness and care for our students, employees, and our many guests.

I am continually impressed by what I have come to call UNI Kindness. Across our campus, people go beyond being nice and show a deeper commitment, a real kindness, to fellow students and colleagues.

We invite you to visit our campus and explore all that UNI has to offer. Please follow the university on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates and community events, and stay connected to the Panther Family as we build on our strength as an institution focused on the success of our students so they can make a positive impact in our world throughout their lives.

Panther Proud!
