Iowa State University
The Hospitality Management Program at Iowa State University is ranked #15 in the world. We are the leading four-year hospitality management program in the Midwest U.S., and are proud to serve the citizens of Iowa. We feature small classes and accessible faculty. Our Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom and VEISHEA Cherry Pies are world famous, and give students real world experiences. Our students are recruited by the leading hospitality companies in the U.S., and many students also choose to stay in Iowa to start their own hospitality-related business. We have several student clubs, and are active in industry activities. We also have an event management major, and we are the only school in the Midwest to have this major. If you are looking for an outstanding hospitality education experience, come visit us in Ames. We look forward to seeing you soon.
