The incoming freshmen tout an average ACT of just over 27 and high school GPA of 3.77. More than 80 percent of the students come from Missouri, with the remainder hailing from 23 additional states and 18 foreign countries. A majority of the transfer students, nearly 60 percent, come from 2-year colleges, most of which are located in Missouri.
