Medians are the middle value of the colleges on this site in Iowa and in the whole country. Completion and return rates count first-time, full-time students. Earnings and debt count students who received federal aid.
The students
38% of undergraduates receive a Pell Grant, the federal grant for students from lower-income families. 62% take a federal student loan. The undergraduate body is 33% women and 67% men. By undergraduate numbers it is number 43 of the 43 colleges in Iowa on this site that report a size; the middle-sized one has 1,227.
What is not reported
The College Scorecard has no figure for an admission rate, published tuition, a net price, the share of students who return for a second year or a graduation rate at Palmer College of Chiropractic. That is common for colleges that are small or new, that teach mostly graduate students, or that take few first-time, full-time students, because several measures count only that group. It says nothing by itself about quality. Ask the college directly for the figures that matter to you.
