About Joplin

Our university is located in Joplin, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in Missouri. Joplin is a growing city home to more than 50,000 people, located on the historic Route 66.

Our city is perfect for college life. From any restaurant-chain you can think of to quaint local coffee shops, your options for dining and caffeine-fueled study-sessions are endless.

Joplin is home to the beautiful Wild Cat Glades, an ideal hiking trail and outdoor adventure for all nature-lovers. For those who crave excitement and city life, Joplin puts on a cultural and artistic event in our Historic Downtown District called Third Thursday. We also offer regularly scheduled Farmers’ Markets, concerts, live performances at Joplin Little Theater, painting classes, world-class exhibits in Spiva Art Gallery and professional sporting events at Joe Becker Stadium.

Joplin combines the welcoming feeling and familiarity of a small town with the beauty of the green countryside and the industry and growth of a big city. All walks of life are welcome in Joplin, and no matter who you are, you’ll find a place to belong here in our town.
