This page lists colleges with the high Student to Faculty Ratio (a faculty teaches/cares more students which means probably less attention/support on each student) in Iowa. Upper Iowa University has the lowest students to faculty ratio of 25 to 1 where 214 faculty or instructional staffs teach 3,941 undergraduate students in Iowa.
Colleges whose programs are focused on certificate, associate, and/or special subjects such as arts and music are excluded from the ranking. We also exclude schools which provide programs through online exclusively since those schools have relatively many more students per faculty than regular colleges.

Note that the actual ratio is computed based on number of undergraduate students and instructional staffs who teach undergraduate programs.
