Spriesterbach graduated from Winona State University in 1939, and received his MA in 1940 and his Ph.D. in 1948 from the University of Iowa (UI).[2] From 1948 to 1989 he was Professor of Speech Pathology and Audiology at UI. He specialized in the area of cleft lip and palates. He wrote many articles and books on the subject.[3] Spriesterbach served as dean of the UI Graduate College from 1965 to 1989 and served both as vice president for research and as vice president for educational research and development, before serving as the acting president.
UI's most distinguished dissertation prize, the D.C. Spriestersbach Dissertation Prize, is named in his honor.[4][5] He was known for being able to tackle any problem assigned to him and for being a friend to students. He helped transform research by creating "centers" that organized research across department and college lines.
