University of Central Missouri - Lee's Summit
Designed with your future in mind!
The University of Central Missouri Lee’s Summit is more than a campus, a set of buildings or a program. It is a bold new way of thinking about education. It starts with a simple question: What if your education could prepare you for the jobs that exist today, not the ones from decades ago?
Located at the intersection of I-470 and Highway 50, UCM Lee’s Summit is designed with your future in mind. With two locations – the Missouri Innovation Campus and the Summit Technology Campus – you’ll find high-quality undergraduate and graduate degrees and short term certificate programs that offer flexible and convenient courses that fit the way you live and work today.
