Since 1839, and as Missouri’s only state-supported member of the
Association of American Universities, the University of Missouri
(MU) has been engaged in groundbreaking research and comprehensive
academics that define its strength as a higher education
institution. Today, MU supports 31,103 students in 300+ degree
programs, including 97 undergraduate majors, 96 master’s degrees,
69 doctoral degrees, and over 70 certificates. Students work side
by side with some of the world’s best faculty to advance the arts
and humanities, the sciences, and the professions. At MU,
scholarship and teaching are driven daily by a commitment to public
service—the obligation to produce and disseminate knowledge that
will improve the quality of life in the state, the nation, and the
world. MU’s NCAA Division I Athletics program in the Southeastern
Conference (SEC) has 550 student-athletes across 20 sports. There
are 344,000 MU alumni living around the world, 185,000 of which
remain in the state of Missouri, maintaining MU’s positive impact
globally and locally.
Over the next decade, the University of Missouri will undergo a
transformation through a comprehensive strategy to enhance the
university’s research and education missions through a $1.5 billion
long-term investment. MizzouForward will use existing and
new resources to recruit new tenure and tenure-track faculty,
enhance staff to support the research mission, build and upgrade
research facilities and instruments, augment support for student
academic success, and retain faculty and staff through additional
salary support. MizzouForward supports an exciting future
for the University of Missouri. With this plan, expectations will
be raised and needed resources will be provided that will allow the
university to attain greater heights of excellence that benefit
Mizzou faculty, staff, students, and the State of Missouri.
MU commits to acting ethically, welcoming differences, and
exchanging ideas openly. University leaders demonstrate commitment
to diversity, equity, and inclusion by ensuring each individual,
regardless of background, experiences, and perspectives, is
supported at MU. In the past eight years, the university created
the Division of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity, hired a Chief
Diversity Officer to lead the new division, and established
mandatory diversity training for those responsible for
hiring.
On the heels of record retention and enrollment growth amidst
unprecedented challenges facing higher education in 2020, the
University of Missouri jumped 15 spots in the U.S. News &
World Report list of top national universities, rising to 124

that offer the best value for students getting need-based financial
aid. Additionally, the university climbed 13 spots to No. 86 among
