Manystates fund separate research and land-grant universities, but Missouri combines those roles at its flagship institution with both land-grant and statewide missions in service to the citizens of the State. MU, also referred to as “Mizzou”, is one of only five universities nationwide that offers law, medicine, veterinary medicine, and a nuclear research reactor on one campus.
