About Iowa State University
Iowa State University was officially established on March 22, 1858 by the legislature of the State of Iowa. The Farm House, the first building on the Iowa State campus, was completed in 1861. In 1862, the Iowa legislature voted to accept the provision of the Morrill Act which was awarded to the agricultural college in 1864. As a land grant institution, Iowa State University focused on the ideals that higher education should be accessible to all and that the university should teach liberal and practical subjects. Iowa State University has approximately 27,000 students and over 100 buildings with world class programs in agriculture, technology, science and art, and created the nation's first state veterinary medicine school in 1879.
