Drake University

Drake University is a private mid-sized University (approximately 3,000 undergraduates; 4,500 total students) located in the thriving U.S. capital city of Des Moines, Iowa.

As a medium sized University, Drake students enjoy the benefits of a school that feels both small and big at the same time, including a 10:1 student-faculty ratio, small classes, NCAA Division I sports, an active and vibrant campus, and a geographically diverse student population. 70% of Drake students come from states outside of Iowa and international students hail from 45 countries.

100% of Drake undergraduate students receive a Presidential Scholarship between $22,000-$26,000 per year and Drake is consistently ranked as a best value in education. Drake also offers a locked-in Tuition Guarantee for all domestic and international students, plus there are opportunities for other scholarships and grants. Drake students benefit from strong professional development and a wide network of internship and career opportunities. 95.5% of the Class of 2020 had a job, or were in graduate school, within 6 months of graduation––even in a global pandemic!
