About University of Central Missouri - Lee’s Summit
The University of Central Missouri was founded in 1871. It is located in Warrensburg, Missouri, a safe community approximately 45 minutes from the Kansas City metropolitan area. The university is home to more than 11,000 students, including more than 750 international students. While at UCM, students will gain skills that will set them apart, giving them the ability and confidence to achieve their goals and make an impact.
In 2017, UCM expanded to Lee’s Summit, Missouri, with the opening of the Missouri Innovation Campus (MIC). It is located only 45 minutes from Warrensburg and gives students direct access to the Kansas City metro, so that they can enjoy shopping, a variety of cultural cuisine and other local activities not offered in Warrensburg. Many students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-related programs will study at this campus. The MIC provides an effective, innovative learning environment for students to pursue exciting educational opportunities in high-demand STEM areas. They are committed to providing students with an experience that transcends the typical education and elevates their career preparedness.
