About This School
University of Missouri-St Louis is a public institution located in Saint Louis, Missouri with approximately 5,024 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Missouri-St Louis has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 63%. The average net price after financial aid is $15,071 per year.

The University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL) is a public research university in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States. Established in 1963, it is the newest of the four universities in the University of Missouri System. Located on the former grounds of Bellerive Country Club, the university's campus stretches into the municipalities of Bellerive Acres, Bel-Nor, Cool Valley, and Normandy. Additional facilities are located at the former site of Marillac College and at Grand Center, both in St. Louis city.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $12,323/year net price and relatively low median debt of $16,500, this school is genuinely affordable, and median earnings of $49,200 a decade out are reasonable for a regional public university. The concern worth flagging is that only 57% of students graduate, and 32% of freshmen don't return after their first year — suggesting many students struggle to finish, which is worth asking the school directly about before enrolling. Worth considering if you're a cost-conscious student with a clear plan and strong support systems, particularly for business, education, or nursing programs tied to the St. Louis job market.
