Programs

DMACC has major areas of focus in the fields of computing, nursing, and vocational training, with over 75 career programs.

A normal credit hour at DMACC for a resident student will cost $97 per hour, compared 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).
