Saint Louis University
Saint Louis University, founded in 1818 by the Catholic Church and later placed under Jesuit administration, is the oldest university west of the Mississippi River, and its downtown St. Louis campus gives students direct access to the city's business, legal, and healthcare industries. The university's medical school and its affiliated hospital system have built strong regional reputations, and SLU's public health program, along with its law school, have each become significant draws for students seeking professional training within a mid-sized Catholic research university setting. SLU's Center for International Studies and its considerable Jesuit institutional network, connecting it to other Jesuit universities worldwide, reflect the university's continued emphasis on global engagement and service alongside its explicitly Catholic educational mission. The university's combination of genuine research-university breadth across medicine, law, and public health, along with its Jesuit mission and downtown St. Louis location, has made SLU one of the most academically comprehensive Catholic universities in the Midwest.
VS
University of Missouri
The University of Missouri, founded in 1839, was the first public university established west of the Mississippi River, and its School of Journalism, founded in 1908, was the first dedicated journalism school in the world, giving Mizzou a founding claim to journalism education predating every other program globally. The university's veterinary medicine and agricultural programs have built strong national reputations, reflecting Missouri's land-grant institutional mission, and Mizzou's research reactor, one of the most powerful university-based nuclear research reactors in the country, supports significant work in nuclear medicine and materials science research. Mizzou's Columbia campus sits roughly midway between St. Louis and Kansas City, and the university's flagship status within Missouri's public university system has made it the state's primary producer of professionals across law, medicine, journalism, and agriculture for more than 180 years. The university's journalism program's continued national reputation, built on its founding claim as the world's first, combined with its broader land-grant research mission across agriculture and veterinary medicine, has given Mizzou a distinctive academic identity that's shaped Missouri's professional workforce for generations.
