Back to its origin

The University of Missouri (MU, University of Missouri-Columbia or simply Missouri) is a public research university located in the state of Missouri. In 1839 the university was founded in Columbia, Missouri, as the first public institution of higher education west of the Mississippi River. The university is the flagship of the University of Missouri System which maintains campuses in Rolla, Kansas City and St. Louis. The UM System was created in 1963 when the University of Missouri (founded in 1839 in Columbia) and its offshoot, the Missouri School of Mines (now the Missouri University of Science & Technology), founded in 1870 in Rolla, were combined with the formerly private University of Kansas City (now University of Missouri-Kansas City, founded in 1933), and a newly created campus in suburban St. Louis (University of Missouri-St. Louis) in 1963. MU is one of six public universities that house a law school, medical school, and a veterinary medicine school on the same campus.
