About Me

Drury University , founded in 1873, is a private liberals arts university located in Springfield, MO. Drury has been at or near the top of the "Great Schools, Great Prices" list in U.S. News & World Report for the Midwest since 1999, including five years in the number 1 slot.

More than 50 majors and academic programs are available. A key to the Drury experience is the way students develop friendships with faculty. A professor teaches every class; there are no teaching assistants. In classroom discussions, frequent conversation outside of class, and undergraduate research projects, students and faculty treat each other as colleagues.

Drury's innovative, intense yet very personal approach to learning happens in a traditional campus setting. The 80-acre campus is surrounded by downtown Springfield , yet sheltered from the bustle of urban life --- until a student decides it's time to explore. Then the city reveals art, culture, and community service opportunities in abundance.
