The Fall 2025 semester is straight ahead with a new lineup of majors and tracks on the Lamoni campus.
For some, we’re just a small school on the Iowa prairie (well yeah, fair enough).
For others, Graceland University is the start of lifelong connections, and pretty remarkable personal and professional journeys. No matter where you go for your degree, your academic, athletic or artistic success is all up to you—but especially at Graceland, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
You belong here, we guide and support you, we let you find your thing, train your talent and pave your way—together, you’ve got this!
There’s a lot to consider when it comes to college. Deciding on a major is an important step. Sometimes, you already know exactly what you want to do…and other times, you’re just not so sure, because everything is interesting and you can see yourself doing so many cool things!
Facing a choice of many options does get overwhelming, so start with the place and school that makes you feel the most welcome and comfortable when you step on campus. And the rest, we’ll also figure out together.

With a Graceland degree, you can…
…be in business
Take the lead in global business settings with Graceland’s very own Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.
…put on quite a show
Make the stage your home with a Performing Arts major. Choose from the three tracks Dramatic Media, Business and Entrepreneurship, or Performance Studies.
…solve the case
Analyze the criminal mind and shape the justice system at the intersection of Psychology and Law. Graceland is one of only a few schools in the nation offering a Bachelor of Arts in Forensic Psychology.
…provide excellent care
Graceland has always been a trailblazer in healthcare education, and its widely recognized Bachelor of Science in Nursing is now also offered on the Lamoni campus!
…find just the right words
Use storytelling to understand today’s challenges, imagine tomorrow’s possibilities, and lead change through good communication with a degree in English.
…dig into data
Within our Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT) major, you can become an expert in Cyber & Homeland Security. It is one of three CSIT tracks (+ AI & Data Science, and Web & Software Development).
Along with your chosen major(s), you will also automatically be enrolled in the Transformational Leadership major that is unique to Graceland, so you’ll rule double when you graduate!
If you’re curious to learn more about a specific major, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Admissions advisors. Or chat with our virtual colleague Gracie first; she’ll pop up on our main page.
You can discover all our undergraduate and graduate programs here.
