Iowa ( / ˈ aɪ ə w ə /) is a state located in the Midwestern United States, an area often referred to as the "American Heartland." It derives its name from the Ioway people, one of the many American Indian tribes that occupied the state at the time of European exploration. Iowa was a part of the French colony of New France. After the Louisiana Purchase, settlers laid the foundation for an agriculture-based economy in the heart of the Corn Belt. Iowa is often known as the "Food Capital of the World", however Iowa's economy, culture, and landscape are diverse. In the mid and late 20th century, Iowa's agricultural economy transitioned to a diversified economy of advanced manufacturing, processing, financial services, biotechnology, and green energy production. Iowa has been listed as one of the safest states in which to live. Des Moines is Iowa's capital and largest city.

What is a good Iowa college to attend if I want to major in Psychology?
Q. I'm a junior in high school and I need to start looking at colleges. I don't know what colleges are the best when it comes to majoring in psychology. I would like the college to be in Iowa. I've done some research but I'm still all over. I was hoping someone with some experience in college picking or someone that also majored in psychology could help me out. I've been looking at UNI, Wartburg, and the University of Iowa...but I don't know.. please and thanks!

How much do nuclear engineers make and where is a good college in iowa to go to to become a nuclear engineer?
Q. I am looking into becoming a nuclear engineer and i was wondering how much they make and where are some good colleges to go to in iowa. I've heard Iowa State University is a good engineering school but i wanted to see if there are any better schools in Iowa.
Asked by Austin G - Fri Jan 2 18:17:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There is a very high demand for nuclear engineers, at this time far exceeding the supply. This makes for a very competitive market, starting salaries of $50-$90K with senior engineers making well over $100K. There are many grants, scholarships and intern programs being developed by nuclear organizations in an attempt to increase the number of students entering the nuclear field. I have attached some links to lists of colleges which offer nuclear engineering, scholarships and pay estimates. You can start a general engineering degree (like mechanical engineering) and then get into a nuclear graduate program or there is plenty of work for non-nuclear engineers in the nuclear industry. Good luck!
