About UCM

The University of Central Missouri is an innovative school that offers a high-quality education while remaining one of the most affordable universities in the country.

Here, your education extends beyond books to include service-learning projects, study abroad opportunities and real-world experiences. Plus, UCM is the state leader in degree completion among public universities. Statistics recently released by the Missouri Department of Higher Education (MDHE) show that UCM’s degree completion rate per full-time equivalent (FTE) is the highest among all of Missouri’s public universities and more than double the state benchmark.

 

At UCM we strive to give you the student services, resources and support you need to experience academic success and earn your degree on time. Take classes online or on our campuses in Warrensburg and Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Take the Virtual Self-Guided Tour to view the Warrensburg and Lee's Summit campuses before visiting in person.
