Kaplan University, Des Moines campus, is located in suburban Des Moines, and with the Meredith Bridge now open, getting to the campus is easy. But it's what's around us that makes our location special. Des Moines is the capital of Iowa and the most populated city in the state. The city is very business driven, and Forbes named it the eleventh "Best Place for Business" in 2006. Des Moines serves as the headquarters for several major corporations, and there are many large operation sites in or near the metro area. What that means to you is that, upon graduation, you should have many opportunities to put your education to use in the Des Moines area.
