About UCM
Missouri Innovation Campus
Affordable, Engaging, Efficient
The Missouri Innovation Campus is a progressive initiative between educational institutions, community organizations and businesses partners to revolutionize the way students learn and work, while bridging the gap between graduates and workforce demands.
Affordable
One of the greatest obstacles to growth and innovation is student debt. MIC will seek new ways to assist students through student employment, tuition forgiveness, shared tuition and low-interest loan programs. This will greatly lower their overall cost and reduce the amount of debt they have upon graduation.
Engaging
In addition to building knowledge through their classroom experiences, students will have the opportunity to experience a high-impact, real-world environment where they can develop skills long before they complete their degrees.
Efficient
Education is critical to the state's economy. An educated workforce attracts new industry, opens new businesses and creates jobs. Educating students in in-demand fields such as the sciences, technology, engineering and health care, fulfills the need for skilled employees and creates opportunities for Missouri's economic growth.
