Missouri

Colleges and universities in Missouri -- the "Show Me" State -- certainly do have a lot to show off when it comes to educational opportunities. Students who attend Missouri colleges immediately benefit from the surrounding culture and history, from Lewis and Clark's famous exploration to Route 66. With famous residents including Mark Twain, Maya Angelou, and President Harry Truman, to name a few, it's easy to see why students at Missouri colleges and universities are inspired to excel.

Students seeking a break from the books head to big city of St. Louis, known for its baseball and its brewing. St. Louis and Kansas City offer big city appeal to counter the natural wonders of towns like Branson in the Ozark mountains, as well as the grand Missouri and Mississippi rivers.

Whether you seek a massive public university or a small town college, there's a Missouri college that fits the bill.
