The University of Missouri was founded in 1839 in Columbia, MO, as the

land-grant institution with a statewide mission of service to citizens and
Missouri's largest public research university. Considered one of the
nation's top-tier institutions, Mizzou is one of only 34 public
universities, and the only public institution in Missouri, to be a member

research to Missouri citizens. The University of Missouri has a statewide

Foundation has recognized MU as one of the top-10 universities in the
country for undergraduate research opportunities. Mizzou graduates more
than 8,000 students annually, granting 27 percent of all bachelor's
