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.
