The Mizzou Impact on Education
Every year MU's extension programs help more than 1.2 million Missourians continue their education, solve problems and make informed decisions.
In fall 2007, MU welcomed 28,477 students representing every county in Missouri, every state in the nation and more than 100 countries.
The National Science Foundation has recognized MU nationally as a top 10 university for successfully integrating research into undergraduate education.
MU researchers have developed a treatment for serious antisocial behavior in youths that is being used in 25 states and eight foreign countries.
According to a Nov. 27, 2005, New York Times article, MU ranks 7th in the nation in the number of graduates who are chief executive officers of companies listed in Standard and Poor's 500 Index.
Two U.S. governors and 34 members of Missouri's legislature are Mizzou alumni.
Two-thirds of Missouri veterinarians and a fifth of Missouri attorneys are Mizzou graduates.
Ninety-two percent of College of Education graduates stay in Missouri.
The Mizzou legacy is carried on by approximately a quarter of a million living alumni across the world. Nearly half live in Missouri.
