Who We Are

Students Give BVU Rave Reviews

Buena Vista University’s Graduate & Professional Studies received rave reviews when students were recently asked what they liked about the program. The pace, academic rigor, class size, and the online or local community college campus class options rated among the top reasons students loved their BVU experience.

We work closely with our partner community colleges to provide opportunities to a growing number of students each year. For bachelor degree seeking students, staff members at each location facilitate the smooth transfer of credits from community colleges and other schools of higher education.

The diverse menu of degree programs continues to evolve to meet the demands of the regional marketplace. Students are also able to combine online classes, face-to-face courses and web-based classes to make scheduling even more convenient. This makes it possible for undergraduates with 60 or more credit hours, or an associate’s degree, to earn a bachelor’s degree in as little as two years.

The benefits of earning a master degree from Buena Vista University are many according to students. The master of science in education school guidance and counseling and the master of education in curriculum and instruction are designed to meet the challenges of the 21st century classroom as well as the challenges required in mastering the art of teaching.
