Note: starting in Fall 2023, most operations (including all credit and non-credit classes) previously held at our Iowa City Campus will be relocated to Kirkwood's Regional Center at the University of Iowa in Coralville. Our Iowa City Campus was closed in May 2023.
Located in Coralville, within Johnson County, Kirkwood's Regional Center at the University of Iowa provides local learners in our Iowa City area with traditional college credit programming and a wide variety of other services and support.
Aside from traditional programming, current high school students can earn early college credit through various liberal arts transfer offerings and innovative, industry-specific Career Academies.

Area high school students can enroll in Career Academies – dual-credit programs focused around certain careers and areas of interest – at Kirkwood's Regional Center at the University of Iowa.
Career Academies give students the opportunity to explore potential career paths and get a headstart on their college degree – at NO COST to them or their families.
