Springfield and Campus

The Big Small Town

Springfield is the birthplace of Route 66 and the heartland of American culture: Midwestern charm, a safe and temperate climate, and Ozark streams and lakes just minutes from campus. There is something on every weekend: the farmers market, Artsfest, fall festivals, Renaissance fairs, and festivals from around the world all year round. Springfield Cardinals baseball is a short walk away, and Springfield-Branson National Airport connects students home through major U.S. hubs.
