Buena Vista University

Cited among Yahoo's Top 10 Most Wired Small Campuses, Buena Vista University is a leader in technology and distance learning for higher education.


A Little History

Buena Vista College (now Buena Vista University) was founded by the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1891. The first college building, known as “Old Main,” opened in 1892 and was the primary building on campus until it was destroyed by fire in 1956.

The college was first granted accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1952.

BVU became the nation’s first “wireless community” in August 2000, giving all
full-time students and faculty at the Storm Lake campus their own laptop computers to connect to the campus-wide wireless network.


Today at Buena Vista University

Buena Vista University's main campus is located in Storm Lake, Iowa. The school was founded by the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1891 with the motto "Education for Service," and is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

Their curriculum is designed to produce graduates who are prepared to live responsibly and joyfully, fulfilling their promise as individual humans as well as their obligations as citizens of a global community.

In addition to offering online courses, BVU enrolls approximately 1,300 students at their main campus, and an additional 1,500 students at 14 branch sites (our BVU Centers) located throughout Iowa.
