UIU-Mesa finds permanent location in city's Fiesta District
UIU signs transfer agreement with Maricopa Community Colleges
Dano Grayson, 2010 graduate from the Mesa area is high on Upper Iowa University.
"At 56 years old I decided it was time to get my BSN. A friend introduced me to UIU and the RN to BSN completion program. I was hesitant; it's been a long time since I have been in school. I am now fully engaged in the nursing program. It is hard for me to explain the impact returning to school has made on me. I actually look at the nursing profession in a whole new light, the difference in having a ADN and working towards my BSN makes me feel "more professional". I would highly recommend the Mesa campus and the instructors. I have felt supported through the entire process. I can't wait to be able to write BSN behind my name.

The Upper Iowa Center in Mesa, Arizona, was established in September 2012. The center offers eleven majors on site. Additionally, courses can be blended with the distance learning programs to lead to a degree in several other majors. There are six eight-week terms offered each academic year. All classes at the Mesa Public School Student Services Building are offered in the evenings to minimize disruption to working adult learners. Upper Iowa has articulation agreements with the Maricopa Community College District, including Mesa Community College, to assist transfer students. We have also partnered with the City of Mesa, our Armed Forces, and the Fraternal Order of Police, to name a few.
