University of Missouri System

The University of Missouri System is a state university system providing centralized administration for four universities, a health care system, an extension program, five research and technology parks, and a University of Missouri Press. More than 64,000 students are currently enrolled at its four campuses.[1] Headquartered in Columbia on the original campus, the extension program provides distance learning and other educational initiatives statewide.[2] The UM System was created in 1963 when the University of Missouri and its offshoot, the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, were combined with the formerly-private University of Kansas City and a newly created campus in suburban St. Louis.
