Iowa Western Community College has been recognized as one of the 25 fastest growing community colleges in the Nation. Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, Iowa Western offers more than 80 career, college-transfer and technical programs and its award winning faculty is committed to enhancing the learning opportunities of all students. Located just minutes from downtown Omaha, Iowa Western is nestled on 250 beautiful acres in Iowa’s Loess Hills, providing students with a “big-school” atmosphere in a quiet setting. 

The requirements for home schooled students are no different than for any other student applying to Iowa Western.  All that is needed is  to   fill out an application, submit placement test scores or take an IWCC placement exam, and submit transcripts.  See the margin link at the right from transcript help. 

A campus visit is one of the most important steps in selecting a college. During a campus visit to Iowa Western, visitors will tour the campus and its facilities, talk to students and instructors, and learn more about our programs. Brochures and websites provide background information, but only by walking the halls of a college can a prospective student get a real feel for what IWCC can offer.  Personalized tours, which are led by IWCC Student Ambassadors, are available Monday through Friday.

In addition to scheduling a campus visit, prospective students are encouraged to attend one of the Reiver Day events, which are offered four times a year, including weekends. Each Reiver Day brings together a large group of students and their parents to get an overview of Iowa Western Community College and what all it has to offer from IWCC faculty and staff as well as current students.  Council Bluffs, IA
