The Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) is a community college with campuses Ankeny, Iowa, Des Moines, Iowa(the Urban Campus), West Des Moines (the West Campus), Boone, Carroll, and Newton.

Programs

DMACC has major areas of focus in the fields of computing, nursing, and vocational training, about over 75 career programs. DMACC also enjoys close ties with the three major regent universities in Iowa, Iowa State University, University of Iowa, and University of Northern Iowa. Many students who transfer their general education courses from DMACC to a four-year college benefit from the savings in tuition costs. A normal credit hour at DMACC for a resident student will cost $95 per hour, as opposed to resident tuition rates at Iowa State University, which can range from $286.75 to $232.50 per credit hour, depending on how many credits are taken at a given semester (Summer 2006 rates).

Students

In 2005, over 22,000 individuals took at least one college-credit course at DMACC, and nearly 50,000 enrolled in a continuing education offering.
