Founded in 1871, the University of Central Missouri is an acknowledged leader in program specific accreditations among the state of Missouri’s public universities. Providing students with quality academic programs at an affordable price has always been a top priority and we are proud to have been named a “Best Value” and “Best in the Midwest” university by The Princeton Review.  UCM is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and offers more than 150 areas of study leading to bachelors, masters and education specialist degrees.  In addition, many of our academic programs hold independent and national accreditation.  One such academic program at UCM is business which holds the prestigious AACSB accreditation.  We also have a nationally recognized Intensive English Program which provides English instruction to our international students who need to improve their English language skills before beginning their selected academic program. 

The University of Central Missouri is medium sized university of approximately 10,000 students located in the middle of the United States in a town called Warrensburg.  Warrensburg is a safe community of approximately 18,000 residents conveniently located just 50 miles (81 kilometers) southeast of Kansas City, Missouri.  UCM’s unique location within the U.S. provides our international students with the added advantage of experiencing both the urban and rural influences of life in the United States.  Approximately 450 undergraduate and graduate international students presently call UCM their home.  We hope you consider the University of Central Missouri as one of your top U.S. university destinations.
