Morningside College
Morningside College offers a liberal arts curriculum combined with a diverse array of practical experiences. So whether you choose to do an internship with a local television station, volunteer at a nearby elementary school or spend a semester in Spain, you will have plenty of opportunities to see how the lessons you are learning in class apply to the real world.
This small, four-year, residential college in Sioux City, Iowa, is the place for people who are friendly and interesting. Enjoy a Starbucks at the library coffee shop or relax by the outdoor fountain. You might run into Heather Reid, professor of philosophy, who once made it to the final Olympic trials as a cyclist and now spends summers leading bicycle tours of Italy, or Bruce Forbes, professor of religious studies, who wrote a book on the history of Christmas and has been featured on the History channel.
At night, you might attend a lecture from Ben Stein or participate in a marathon reading of the latest Harry Potter book, or you might head downtown to see Tim McGraw in concert or catch a Broadway show. The Sioux City metro area has a population of nearly 150,000, which provides all of the career and entertainment opportunities that come with living in an urban area.
Maybe you will become Morningside’s student government president. Maybe you will travel with your professor to present research at a national conference. With more than 65 major and pre-professional programs, more than 50 student-led organizations and 21 varsity sports to offer, Morningside College will help you find your niche and create your ideal college experience.
