Columbia College has been an important contributor to Missouri’s higher education community for over 150 years, and remains a major fixture in the city of Columbia. The Cougars basketball program regularly finds itself at the top of the rankings in the NAIA, and home games at Southwell Complex always draw a crowd.
Downtown Columbia is largely custom-tailored for the collegiate crowd, with Columbia College on the north side, Stephens College on the east side, and the larger University of Missouri on the south side. Downtown is packed with popular bars, restaurants, coffeehouses, galleries, and entertainment venues, mostly clustered around Broadway a few blocks south of the Columbia campus. With two major colleges practically neighboring each other, the city has a huge rental market surrounding the city center; whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly studio or a more upscale townhome or condo, you’ll have lots of options within easy walking distance of the campus.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
