The institution now known as Missouri Western State University was founded as a two-year institution in 1915. Since that time, it has grown into a full-fledged university serving roughly 5,500 students and boasting a nationally-ranked business program. The university’s hometown of Saint Joseph is a mid-sized city on the Kansas state line, about an hour north of Kansas City.
Living close to the university campus will put you on the east side of town, surrounded by a mix of residential neighborhoods and retail. One of the biggest nearby landmarks is the popular East Hills Mall, which anchors a large cluster of shops and restaurants in the area. The Downtown district near the Missouri River is packed with eateries, bars, entertainment venues, and a huge selection of other attractions that regularly draw the college crowd on the weekends. The close proximity to Kansas City makes it easy to hop down and explore the larger metropolis anytime you’re craving a change of scenery.

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.
