Building on a strong tradition of teacher education , the University of Northern Iowa has evolved into one of the finest comprehensive public universities in the country. UNI emphasizes excellence in undergraduate education and offers selected graduate programs at the master's, specialist's and doctoral levels.

UNl's heritage and philosophy place great value on pro­ viding a student-centered educational experience. The university offers a learning environment that is small enough to provide students with individual attention, yet large enough to provide a variety of resources , including distinguished faculty.

Today, UNI offers more than 120 undergraduate majors Outstanding academic programs, many of which are na­ tionally-recognized for their excellence, have been estab­ lished in the colleges of Business Administration, Edu­ cation, Humanities and Fine Arts, Natural Sciences, and FACTS AND HIGHLIGHTS Social and Behavioral Sciences.

• The University of Northern Iowa strives for excellence. Panthers push to excel not only on their athletic fields, but in the class­ room, as well. The UNI athletic department sponsors 18 teams in in­ tercollegiate competition - eight men's programs and 10 women's programs.

UNI fields teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, track and field and wrestling on the men's side, while competing in basketball, cross country, golf, tennis, track and field, soccer, softball, swimming and volleyball for women.

All programs are classified as members of NCAA Division I. Sixteen of UNl's sports belong to the Missouri Valley Conference, while football competes as part of the Gateway Football Conference and wrestling as part of the newly-formed Western Wrestling Conference.

The Panthers' recent run of success continued in 2006, as the Panther men's basketball team recorded its thir straight 21-win season and made its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament in March, while the men's track eam won the MVC indoor title and finished 18th at the NCAA Indoor Championships. The Panther wrestlers also won their 21st straight West Regional title.

On the women's side, volleyball swept the Missouri Valley Confere ce and MVC Tournament championships, advancing to the NCAA Tourna­ ment.

The spring season brings more promise for the Panthers, who look to continue their success on the track, the tennis court and the golf course, as well as qualify for both the MVC baseball and softball tournaments.
