University Of Missouri - St. Louis The University of Missouri-St. Louis, or UM-St. Louis is one of four campuses in the University of Missouri System. Established in 1963, it is the newest of the four campuses and is located on the former grounds of the Bellerive Country Club in Saint Louis County, Missouri. UM-St. Louis is commonly known by its former official acronym UMSL (pronounced "uhm-suhl"). As of 2005, it is the largest university in the St. Louis area. Bachelors, master's, and doctoral programs are offered through the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, the College of Education, the College of Fine Arts and Communication, the College of Nursing, and the College of Optometry. Preprofessional, honors, a joint engineering program with Washington University in St. Louis, and evening programs are also offered. The vast majority of students live off campus throughout the St. Louis area. The campus contains two stops on St. Louis' regional light rail system MetroLink. A student center, academic buildings, parking structures, a performing arts center, and residential housing have been constructed over the past ten years as part of campus improvement programs. UM-St. Louis is sometimes confused with Saint Louis University. However, they are two different institutions. UM-St. Louis is a public university. Saint Louis University is a private, Jesuit-run university. External links
