William Jewell College

William Jewell is a private college in Liberty, Mo., with a long history of cultivating thought leaders and innovators who have pursued meaningful lives throughout the world. Founded as a Baptist college, the College is proud of its rich history and heritage, and today are an independent, four-year college.

Today, Jewell sits at the edge of both urban and rural landscapes. In one direction lie rolling hills and Midwestern countryside, reminiscent of the College’s rustic beginnings. From another vantage, the Kansas City skyline graces the horizon. The College's prime location in a thriving metropolis means rich cultural offerings for its students, while Jewell’s partnerships with Kansas City corporations, entrepreneurs and alumni yield internships, mentors, research programs, dynamic lecturers and career possibilities.

Jewell has been called “the campus of achievement” in recognition of students’ prestigious scholarships and fellowships, placement in the country’s finest graduate schools and contributions to their professions and communities beyond The Hill. Recognition is an outcome of Jewell’s investment in students, inspiring them to become lifelong learners, teaching them to think critically, challenging them to ask tough questions, encouraging them to pursue spiritual development, engaging them in the world and preparing them for lives of leading and serving.
