College For Professional and Adult Learning
Eleven evening majors are offered. Classes are held at the main campus in Des Moines, or at Camp Dodge in Johnston, Iowa, a western suburb of Des Moines.
CPAL classes are offered during the day, evenings, or alternate Saturdays, and are often accelerated classes, using half the number of weeks to cover the same amount of material than a typical Grand View class.
