Des Moines University's campus community embraces a common mission and vision: to prepare distinctive health professionals committed to patient-centered health promotion and the discovery of knowledge.

The DMU campus is a close-knit, collaborative environment that allows students to learn and share ideas while enjoying themselves and forging lifelong friendships. DMU offers many opportunities for students to get involved in extracurricular activities. There are countless student clubs and organizations as well as intramural sports activities to help students take a break from studying.

Student life at Des Moines University is as diverse as the students themselves. Both on campus and off, there is a wealth of events and activities to expand your educational, social and service opportunities.

The campus itself has been designed with students in mind. We strive to make students feel at home while on campus. The new Student Education Center features comfortable, informal study areas, a student lounge, coffee bar and café. It has even been dubbed DMU's "living room". We hope you have an opportunity to visit campus, talk to students and see for yourself.

Welcome to DMU!
