Northwest Missouri State University was founded in 1905 as a two-year institution called the Fifth District Normal School. The school was originally created to train teachers for the rural school districts in the northwest region of Missouri. Initially, the curriculum was focused on teacher preparation and included classes in grammar, literature, history, and science. In 1921, the school’s name changed to Northwest Missouri State Teachers College and its curriculum expanded to include four-year degree programs. By 1933, the college had earned accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and began offering courses in business administration, home economics, music education, physical education, and industrial arts. Over the years, additional academic programs were added and in 1965 Northwest became a university with its current name.

Today Northwest Missouri State University offers more than 150 undergraduate degree programs as well as several graduate degrees. The university also has numerous student organizations including fraternities/sororities and various clubs that are focused on academic enrichment or social activities. Additionally, Northwest prides itself on providing students with access to internships that provide both hands-on experience as well as potential employment opportunities after graduation. The university also sponsors many events throughout the year such as their annual Homecoming Parade which brings together alumni from around the world. Finally, Northwest is committed to providing quality education at an affordable cost with over 90% of their students receiving some form of financial aid or scholarship opportunity each year. Check USPRIVATESCHOOLSFINDER.COM for a list of private schools in New Mexico by county.
