IN STUDENT EXPERIENCE AMONG PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS — Wall Street Journal
LIFE IN THE CITY
Some of our students’ favorite things to do in KC? Taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling City Market, checking out the diverse arts scene at First Fridays in the Crossroads Arts District, savoring the slow-cooked flavors of world-famous barbecue and cheering on all of Kansas City’s teams.
UMKC is a proud partner of these Kansas City teams!
Kansas City is a hub for incredible sports. Our teams win championships and make world history. Now, UMKC is uniquely positioned for involvement with all four of these ground-breaking teams. These partnerships allow students access to mentorship, educational programs, hands-on experiences, behind-the-scenes looks, community events and even financial support for their education.
