In 2001, Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) seized an idea: innovation in technology
should drive innovation in education and prepare today’s students for jobs in tomorrow’s
economy. So, DMACC West Campus came into being – a campus focused on Information Technology
(IT) and bringing people together in an environment of creativity and fresh thinking.
Today DMACC West remains committed to this ideal. Everything about the campus centers
on the notion of innovation and partnership – from the classes to the space to the
players involved. In addition to our Liberal Arts transfer degree, we offer over 30 degree, diploma, and certificate programs. More are in the works.
We aspire to be that place where all people – whether new to the field or seasoned
professions – can go to acquire skills for future-forward jobs – and where businesses
can turn to find the job-ready employees they need.
Welcome to West Campus, where innovation drives your future!
Dr. Anthony Paustian
Provost
DMACC West Des Moines Campus
We are always looking to partner with new companies and organizations that will help
our cause to "advance education through technology". It's through these partnerships
that we are able to create the synergy required to meet the demands of today's changing
technological environment.
If you feel your company or organization would be a good partner fit with the West
Campus, please contact Dr. Anthony Paustian, Provost. We appreciate your interest and support of the West Campus and look forward
to working with you.
