Although Columbia Missouri is best known for The University of Missouri (also
known as the University of Missouri–Columbia, Mizzou, or MU), Columbia has a
wide variety of schools available.
Columbia's most well known college is a public land-grant and research
university in Columbia, Missouri. Founded in 1839, it was the first public
university west of the Mississippi River and is the flagship of the University
of Missouri System. MU is Missouri's largest university with a current
enrollment of over 30,000 students who come from every county in Missouri, every
state in the nation, and more than 100 foreign countries. The University In
Columbia Missouri offers more than 270 undergraduate, graduate, and professional
degree programs through 20 schools and colleges and is one of only six public
universities in the United States with schools of medicine, veterinary medicine,
and law all on one campus. Also widely known are its programs in journalism (the
world's first, founded in 1908), agriculture, and life sciences. It is one of
only 34 public universities in the United States—and the only public institution
in Missouri—to be an elected member of the prestigious Association of American
Universities. More than 244,000 alumni are living worldwide, with half
continuing to reside in Missouri.
