Academic programs are enriched through advanced technologies and partnerships that link the University of Missouri-St. Louis to communities, institutions and businesses regionally, nationally and internationally. Its special commitment to partnership provides UM-St. Louis with a leadership role among public educational and cultural institutions in improving the region's quality of life, while its unique relations with two- and four-year colleges and universities promote seamless educational opportunities.
