    Des Moines University was founded in 1898 as the Dr. S.S. Still College of Osteopathy. It was renamed Still College in 1905 and Des Moines Still College of Osteopathy and Surgery during the 1940s.

    In 1958, the institution was renamed the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery. The first satellite clinic was established in 1963. In 1971, the Dietz Diagnostic Center, then a specialty clinic, began operation as a major outpatient facility. In 1980 the University was renamed University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences with a broadened educational mission. The school moved to its present site in 1972. The College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery and the College of Biological Sciences (now the College of Health Sciences) were both established by the college's Board of Trustees in 1980 and are now part of the osteopathic medical university, along with the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery.

    The college adopted the Des Moines University name on September 18, 1999. On August 8, 2003, former Iowa Governor Terry E. Branstad became the university's president.

    There was an earlier unaffiliated Des Moines University located in the Highland Park neighborhood that closed in the 1920s.
