IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Iowa State University has emerged as a broad based university of international stature from its beginning as an agricultural
college. It was created as the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm by the Iowa General Assembly in 1858 and became a land
-grant college in 1864 under terms of the federal Morrill Act. The first classes were taught in 1986. Iowa State was a worldwide
pioneer in the establishment of agricultural studies on a college level, was the first state institution to found a veterinary school,
helped move the engineering profession to its present key position in an industrial society, emphasized basic sciences, and took
leadership in establishing the profession of horne economics. The modern Cooperative Extension Service network grew out of the early
community Farmers Institute gatherings organized by Iowa State, and the electronic digital computer was invented at Iowa State in the
last 1930's by physics and mathematics professor John V. Atanasoff. It was renamed Iowa State University of Science and Technology
in 1959.
Colleges within the university are Agriculture, Business Administration, Design, Education, Engineering, Family and Consumer
Sciences, Graduate, Sciences and Humanities and Veterinary Medicine.
