About the University of Missouri 

The University of Missouri was founded in 1839 in Columbia, Missouri, as the first public university west of the Mississippi River and the first state university in the Louisiana Purchase territory. MU provides the benefits of two universities in one — it is a major land-grant institution and Missouri's largest public research university.

Considered one of the nation's top-tier institutions, MU has a reputation of excellence in teaching and research and is the flagship campus of the four-campus University of Missouri System. It is one of only 64 public universities, and the only public institution in Missouri, to be selected for membership in the Association of American Universities. Mizzou is the flagship campus of the University of Missouri system, located in Columbia, just 20 minutes to the Columbia Regional Airport, and less than 2 hours to St. Louis or Kansas City.

Columbia, MO., consistently rated as one of the best communities to live, is an ideal college town, combining small-town comforts, community spirit and low cost of living with big-city culture, activities and resources. Home to nationally renowned public schools and other colleges and educational centers, Columbia is packed with restaurants and entertainment venues and hosts more than a dozen annual cultural festivals.
