The University of Missouri – Kansas City is a historic institution near some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. The university distinguishes itself through many highly-ranked academic programs, including its pharmacy school, Public Affairs graduate program, and Nonprofit Management program. Stately buildings like Epperson House and Scofield Hall give the campus a timeless feel that helps cultivate the scholarly environment.
Main Street is just a few blocks to the west, and the huge shopping center Country Club Plaza is right across Bush Creek, with its specialty shops, popular restaurants, and movie theater. The creek itself is lined with trails and large public parks, creating a popular greenbelt perfect for bike rides, running, or long walks. The nearby Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is a treasure trove of works dating back to ancient times.
The UMKC campus is largely surrounded by residential neighborhoods, and there are many great rental options within walking distance. Apartments, condos, and houses on the west side will offer more convenient access to both the university and the nearby attractions, while the east side offers more budget-friendly options.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
