Drake University at Mason City-NIACC

Drake University at Mason City-NIACC is an instructional site of Drake University located in Mason City, Iowa, hosted in partnership with North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC). This arrangement allows Drake University to extend its graduate or undergraduate programming to students in northern Iowa without requiring travel to Drake's main campus in Des Moines.

Specific enrollment figures, completion rates, and retention data for this site are not available in current IPEDS reporting. Drake University offers programs primarily in law, business, pharmacy, education, and the arts and sciences at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Students should contact Drake University or the Mason City site directly to confirm which programs are currently delivered at this location.

Mason City is the county seat of Cerro Gordo County in northern Iowa. Shared-use arrangements between four-year universities and community colleges are a common strategy for expanding higher education access in smaller Iowa communities with significant geographic distance from major university campuses.
