With a plethora of active alumni and thriving business community, the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Corridor is a great place for self-improvement and professional advancement. We work closely with local employers to create opportunities for our students and their employees.
We also offer corporate educational partnerships, providing a 10% tuition discount for individual employees to support your organization’s professional development needs.
Serving K-12 students and educators
The decision to attend college starts early—that’s why we offer Mustang U workshops and courses for local Catholic high school students.
We’re also committed to putting qualified teachers and administrators into the community through workshops and our education programs.
JumpStart
JumpStart’s mission is to inspire Cedar Rapids children to reach their potential by teaching vital lessons in leadership and academics—through the support of mentors and role models—as part of free sports programming at our Robert W. Plaster Athletic Complex.
