"The experience gained working at Iowa State, provided me with the networking needed to persue other companies."

Iowa State University Employee

"Iowa State's graduate program is an excellent match for candidates regardless of interest. The graduate program within the department of psychology, specifically, gives researchers an excellent balance of autonomy and support when needed. Statistical training through this program is top-tier. Professors are knowledgeable and approachable. Overall, an excellent place to conduct independent research and advance your education!"

"Iowa State is in general a good place to work. The IT department is supportive of professional development and provides opportunities for training for employees, both on location and as part of professional conferences. The one downside is that as an employee of a public university, salary is not as high as it could be in the private sector."
