Missouri Baptist University (MBU) is a private university in Creve Coeur, Missouri, United States. It is one of three universities of the Missouri Baptist Convention. The main campus is located on a 68-acre (28 ha) site near Creve Coeur and Town and County in West St Louis County, off highway 64-40. There are currently 12 MBU locations including its regional learning centers throughout the St. Louis region and Illinois. The school enrolled 5,309 students in 2019.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 48% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention suggest many students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the plus side, debt at graduation is relatively modest at $17,726, and the Saint Louis location offers real-world access for internships and networking. Worth considering if you're drawn to a faith-based, small-campus environment and have a clear plan to stay on track, but families should ask hard questions about support services and why so many students leave.
