The University of Missouri (Mizzou) is located centrally in the U.S. in Columbia, Missouri. You can fly to Columbia’s regional airport (COU) from several U.S. cities and arrive within 15 minutes of campus or take a less than two-hour shuttle ride from the international airport in St. Louis. Our lush, active campus was recently recognized as one of the most beautiful colleges in America by Architectural Digest — and we think you’ll agree.

WHY MIZZOU FITS YOU
Established in 1839, the University of Missouri has always been a leader in higher education. Mizzou was the first public university west of the Mississippi River, and is home to the world’s premier school of journalism. The concept of bringing alumni back to campus for homecoming originated at MU. As a flagship, land-grant institution, we are a campus where empathy, innovation and hard work combine to solve the world’s grand challenges. Mizzou is one of only 38 public universities in the Association of American Universities (AAU), an elite group of top-tier schools with outstanding reputations in teaching and research. Mizzou has experienced 11 straight years of research growth and has $509 million in annual research expenditures. Even as undergraduates, Mizzou students can contribute to world-class research on our vibrant campus. Our 95% student success rate proves that a Mizzou degree opens doors and provides graduates with great career options.
