The University of Missouri-Columbia

The University of Missouri-Columbia was founded in 1839 as the first public university west of the Mississippi River and the first state university in Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase territory. MU provides all the benefits of two universities in one — it's a major land-grant institution and Missouri's largest public research university.

Considered one of the nation's top-tier institutions, Mizzou has a reputation of excellence in teaching and research, and is the flagship campus of the four-campus University of Missouri System. It is one of only 34 public universities, and the only public institution in Missouri, to be selected for membership in the Association of American Universities. MU offers more than 265 degree programs — including 30 online degree options — and is designated as comprehensive doctoral with medical/veterinary by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Mizzou is recognized nationally and receives top rankings for its programs in many areas, including journalism, dispute resolution, family and community medicine, campus writing program and Freshman Interest Groups. As one of only six public universities in the country with medicine, veterinary medicine and law all on one campus, MU provides Missouri with an educated work force of doctors, veterinarians and lawyers.

Mizzou has a diverse enrollment with 28,000 students from every county in Missouri, every state in the nation and 100 countries.The favorite classroom for the best and brightest, Mizzou attracts more valedictorians, Curators Scholars and twice as many of the state’s Bright Flight Scholars than any other college or university in Missouri. Nearly one-third of freshmen come from the top 10 percent of their high school classes.
Fans from all across the state cheer on the MU Tigers footbal team at Memorial Stadium.

Designated as a botanic garden, MU’s 1,358-acre main campus features more than 5,000 trees and 650 varieties of plants. A number of University buildings also are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Money magazine, Men's Journal, MSN.com and others have all called Columbia, Mo., one of America’s best places to live because of its excellent quality of life. Mizzou is by far the largest employer in the area with more than 12,000 full-time employees.

Citizens across the state connect with Mizzou by participating in Extension programs in every county, visiting MU Health Care specialists, competing in state competitions in MU facilities and by cheering on the Missouri Tigers at athletic events. A member of the Big 12 Conference, Mizzou features the state’s only division I-A athletic program, where student-athletes in 20 sports compete at the highest level nationally.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article
seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let
you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.
Cheers

I drop a comment whenever I especially enjoy a post on a
website or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion.
Usually it is caused by the sincerness displayed in the post
I browsed. And on this article "The University of Missouri-Columbia".
I was actually moved enough to post a comment :) I actually do have 2 questions for
you if you don't mind. Could it be just me or does it look like a few of the comments come across like written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other social sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list every one of all your community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
