Hi all! I was wondering about the higher education scene in Iowa. Could someone provide me with a list of universities in Iowa? I'm especially interested in programs related to agricultural science. Cheers.
Sure, Iowa has quite a number of universities and colleges, and it's great you're interested in agricultural science as Iowa is known for its strong programs in this field of study. Here are a few universities in Iowa:
1. University of Iowa (Iowa City): Offers various undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs.
2. Iowa State University (Ames): They are particularly known for their College of Agriculture and Life Sciences which offers strong undergraduate and graduate programs in Agricultural Studies.
3. University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls): Offers a diverse range of programs from humanities to business.

Keep in mind that each university has its own strengths. Despite its name and primary focus, agricultural science programs can vary among universities, from more hands-on, practical work to more research-oriented or policy-focused programs.
Iowa State University, in particular, is known nationally for its strong focus on agriculture and operates a number of research farms throughout the state, providing excellent opportunities for hands-on learning. They have a comprehensive package that ranges from Agribusiness, Agricultural Biochemistry, Agricultural Systems Technology, to Dairy Science and much more.
