Missouri Colleges Summary

Missouri has a large number of colleges and other post-secondary schools with over 200, the 8th most of any state in the United States. A large number of these are public institutions, nearly 70 of them. Only eight US states have more public adult education schools. However, unlike other states the average number of students per public college is relatively low, as Missouri is one of only nine states with less than 60% of their college students in public schools.

The University of Missouri has three main locations: Columbia, Saint Louis, and Kansas City, and more than 55,000 students. Saint Louis Community College is the largest community college in Missouri and is one of the nine colleges in the state with more than 10,000 students.

There are two large for-profit schools in Missouri. These are Webster University and Washington University in St. Louis. Both of these also have more than 10,000 students. On the smaller side of things, there are 62 schools with less than 100 students. These are mostly personal care schools and technical schools.
