WHAT A GRAND CITY WE LIVE IN!

Grand View University has been proud to call Des Moines home since its founding in 1896. We’ve grown and changed dramatically, but we remain committed to the education of our students, meeting the needs of our workforce and making the world a better place through service, partnerships and the work of our collective Des Moines community.

Grand View’s core education model ensures that all students take a course that features either immersion or civic engagement projects that help them understand the powerful role they can play in building a more compassionate world. Community partnerships with local schools, non-profits and governmental organizations play an especially significant role in preparing students to be dynamic, culturally responsive leaders.

We invite you to come to campus, enjoy our theatre and music productions, watch our championship athletic teams or take a stroll through our picturesque campus. We are Des Moines!
