TRANSFORMING LIVES SINCE 1875
About Park
Park University is a four-year, private, nonprofit, liberal arts institution that has been serving students since 1875. Our 645-acre, flagship campus is in Parkville, Mo., a historic town on the banks of the Missouri River, just minutes from Kansas City. The campus is anchored by Mackay Hall, built in 1886 by students who quarried the stone from the school’s land, carried it to the site and built the structure as a means of earning their tuition.
Since then, Park has continued to expand our academic programs, the diversity of our student population, and how we connect the two. We now serve more than 500 international students from 70 countries, and the majority of our 90+ programs are offered online.
TUITION + FINANCIAL AID
Park has been helping students break barriers to education for more than 150 years, starting with cost. We strive to keep our tuition and fees as low as possible, allowing our students to graduate with less debt and more opportunity. International student scholarships are available from $3,000 to $6,000 per year.
