University of Missouri - Kansas City

UMKC Law is amazing. The professors are high quality and are willing to work with students to produce the best attorneys possible. The school focuses more on practical skills so that they produce lawyers who are ready to practice rather than only teaching us to think like lawyers.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City exposed me to such a diverse student body, a plethora of interesting courses led by professors who truly cared, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The knowledge I gained while attending UMKC has proven so useful in my career after graduation and I highly recommend this university to anyone I talk to.

I attended classes at the University of Missouri—Kansas City both in-person and online, graduating last year in 2025 with a BA in Psychology. Overall, I had a great experience there, but I had a few professors that didn’t make their class challenging enough. Part of getting an education, to me, is to be challenged with every course, and some professors made things far too easy.

The career services help is nonexistent, especially if you're applying for outside grants in further education. Not sure why there's a specific full-time position dedicated to reminding students of deadlines (and doing nothing else) but it seems like a cushy gig for a glorified calendar app. Wish she could've helped me land one of those! Hats off to UMKC for wasting office space on that department.

The creative writing program at UMKC is heavily emphasized on literary works and more academic writing (i.e. short stories and poetry). I wrote commercial fiction novels. Sometimes this created tension in a class because I could only submit partial manuscripts and most critiques I received from other students came with the caveat that "since this is only part of a bigger whole, I can't speak to the whole novel." The department also frowns upon genre fiction.

I have been to multiple schools and this is the best school that I have attended. The general classes were very well balanced and helped me get a deeper understanding of life. The students and faculty of the Physics department are very enthusiastic, helpful and focused.

It's a commuter school so it's hard to make lasting friendships in grad school but the MBA program is well-rounded and offers a very diverse student body so the classes mirror real-life situations well.

UMKC is a wonderful place to be if you are interested in pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors. UMKC has gone to great lengths to prepare you for launching your own venture, no matter the industry. The program is great and so are the facilities. I would highly recommend UMKC to anyone.

This is a great school for working adults. I was able to complete a master's degree with evening classes, and the faculty treat you like equals.

UMKC offered a quality education for a reasonable price. The professors know their content and most of them were helpful.

I had a very challenging, however rewarding experience. The professors are excellent and care about your success.

Don't go to this school. It will put you over a hundred thousand dollars in debt, and you will /still/ have to pay for your own study materials and for the final test that will get you your provisional license. Do your research and go to a school that pays for that for you.

This program offered very hands on learning and mentoring of the professors. Very happy to have attended this program. Teachers offered me advising, extra time for out of class assistance, answered emails promptly and went over and above to assist me with Grad School applications.

UMKC offers students education with bright faculty. Unfortunately, the conservatory is in a stage of transition to a new campus and experiencing financial difficulties which has not been without effects on faculty/student morale and quality of facilities. All-in-all, I feel that I am moving on well trained.

I would highly recommend studying Political Science at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. The faculty are extremely knowledgeable, talented, and experienced. My graduate studies at the University of Missouri, Kansas City thoroughly prepared me to become a Political Science instructor for an institution that focuses on providing higher education to military service members.

I have been at University of Missouri-Kansas City for a full semester now. UMKC brings a diverse modern technological structure to its curriculums. As an accounting grad student I am able to be involved in multiple relevant association and exposed to software and technological advances of the accounting field. Class projects involve working with businesses withing the community, all of this gives students an excellent professional preparation.
