We offer a variety of programs for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as STEM education programs for K-12 students.

Biological and Biomedical Systems

These programs prepare you for a graduate program in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine or to begin a career in education, research or conservation. Whatever your passion, our close ties to the UMKC Health Sciences Campus, newly renovated laboratories and world-class research faculty provide a strong foundation for a fulfilling future.

Biology

Our biology programs are designed to shape your curiosity into countless career options, including conservation, education, medicine and research.

Biomedical Engineering

We combine engineering principles with medical science to innovate equipment and systems for the advancement of health care.

Computing, Analytics and Mathematics

The increasingly large role that data, cybersecurity and software design play in business, media, health care and other industries underlies the faster-than-average growth rate for occupations in this field. Our research faculty work on the front line of cutting-edge technologies – and you can work right alongside them! 

Computer Science and IT

A foundation in computer science and Information Technology (IT) prepares you for a career path with growing demand.

Mathematics and Statistics

A degree in mathematics and statistics can lead to a rewarding career in math education, actuarial science or data analytics and statistics.

Energy, Matter and Systems

Explore the principles of science in our physics and chemistry programs or put the science in motion through mechanical engineering. These programs can prepare you for careers in pharmacy, aeronautics, manufacturing and energy.

Chemistry

Explore the world at the molecular level and get exposure to chemistry theory, experiments and simulations to solve problems.

Electrical and Computer Engineering

This rapidly changing profession — sparked by constant technological advances — demands that graduates have a varied educational background.

Mechanical Engineering

Test the principles of physics and materials science to analyze, design, manufacture and maintain mechanical systems.

Physics and Astronomy

Physics and astronomy are fundamental sciences because they are — at their core — about how things work and solving real-world problems.

Natural and Built Environment

Learn to discover and design in the physical world. Constructing skyscraping buildings, exploring volcanic activity and planning beautiful communities are just a few futures students in this division can expect. Our intensive coursework prepares students for nearly any position in geotechnical, environmental or structural engineering, as well as geology and urban planning.

Architecture

Our new architecture program blends theory, practice, and sustainability to empower visionary architects of the future.

Urban Planning + Design

Our accredited undergraduate urban planning and design program integrates theory, practice, and community engagement to foster sustainable, inclusive cities.

Civil Engineering

Our undergraduate, graduate and professional programs prepare you for a successful career in geotechnical, environmental, hydraulics or structural engineering.

Earth and Environmental Science

Work in the field or the lab to study the human interactions with and processes of the earth and environment.

Additional Programs

Bachelor's-to-master's degree programs

Accelerated programs that allows you to earn a bachelor's and master's degree in just five years.

Army ROTC
