The University of Missouri, St. Louis (UM-St. Louis) is one of four campuses of the University of Missouri System. It was established in 1963 and is the third-largest university in the state. In addition to its role in advancing knowledge as part of a comprehensive research university, UM-St. Louis has a special mission determined by its urban location and its shared land-grant tradition.

Several of its 131 degree and certificate programs have attained national recognition for their quality, including biology, criminology, education, information systems, international business, nursing, optometry, psychology, public policy and tropical ecology. The UMSL faculty as a whole was ranked 5th nationally among universities with fewer than 15 doctoral programs in the Academic Analytic’s Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index – immediately behind Boston College and Georgetown University.

The University of Missouri-St. Louis offers programs of study leading to the Ph.D.: applied mathematics, biology, business administration (information systems), chemistry, criminology and criminal justice, education, nursing, physics, physiological optics, political science, and psychology. The Ed.D. and Ed.S. in education is also administered by the Graduate School. The O.D. in optometry is administered by the School of Optometry.
