Updated: 5:27 PM CST March 9, 2021 COLUMBIA, Mo. — The University of Missouri has launched a new way to make online programs more accessible. Missouri Online is an eLearning platform that allows prospective students to view online offerings from the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU), University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), and University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) on a single website. The combined catalogs total more than 260 online degree and certificate programs, with 22 additional programs coming online in 2021. “As the state’s public research universities, we knew it was our responsibility to provide more online opportunities that deliver upon the needs of Missourians to meet our critical mission in a way that makes us competitive and serves students who need options that fit their lives and their needs,” UM Curator Robin Wenneker said. “Thanks to the work and dedication of our university leaders, we’re breaking down barriers to make high-quality education more accessible to Missourians.”
