The CMU Brand: ASPIRE

CMU ranks among the Midwest’s leading private universities dedicated to fully preparing students through academic
excellence, personal attention, critical thinking, knowledge access, career development and servant leadership. A CMU
student does not settle for mediocrity, but “aspires” to academic excellence and social consciousness so that he or she is
fully equipped to lead and serve in the local and global community.

Personal Education   Practical Academic Experience   Sound Career Preparation
CMU’s faculty does more than teach students. They mentor them. CMU offers small class sizes, accessible and approachable professors and a learning environment conducive to small group interaction. There exists a sincere interest on the part of faculty and administration to ensure student success.   Students receive a high-quality education and the personal attention they need to have a successful college experience. Scholarships and financial aid are available to deserving students. A close-knit, family atmosphere between classmates and faculty/staff further ensures success.   Mentoring professors and a Career Development Center are dedicated to helping students launch their careers. This is augmented by opportunities for real-world experiences through internships and outside programs. Additionally, academic and career counseling helps students transition into the professional world.
Servant Leadership   Knowledge Connectivity    
CMU has its heritage in Wesleyan theology and United Methodist values. Consequently, CMU is mindful of developing the personal and professional character of students. CMU encourages integrity, leadership and responsibility to self and others. CMU also encourages outreach and service to others while promoting an understanding of wider community and global issues and needs, including diversity.   Campus-wide wireless access to online libraries of more than 50 colleges and universities in Missouri through MOBIUS facilitates global consciousness and academic excellence among students. Additionally, research specialists dedicated to teaching critical research skills help students evaluate information. CMU111 refinements will further facilitate student learning.
