The University of Missouri was given land-grant status in 1870 through the Morrill Act of 1862.
At that time, most universities exclusively provided the traditional classical studies, and higher education was inaccessible to those who were not wealthy or elite. The mission of the Morrill Act was to expand university offerings to include agricultural and technical education, and to make universities more accessible and practical for the working class.
In 1870, the College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts was established at the University of Missouri in Columbia to realize this mission. MU Extension also fulfills a critical component of this act by providing vital, practical information to agricultural producers, small business owners, consumers, and other citizens across the state of Missouri.
