More than 60% of Iowa State students major in a STEM field.
I read that in an Iowa State news release and it surprised me and made me proud to be an alum. Many years ago I speculated that Iowa State's emphasis was in fields like engineering that were going to be important for the future. I speculated Iowa State would outgrow Iowa as the world depended more and more on technology. That certainly was the case many years later as Iowa State became the larger university. I'm not sure what the future will bring, but sending educating 60% of our students in STEM fields has got to mean something good.
