metro area in Jackson County, covers a total of 56
square miles and includes students from the
communities of Blue Springs, Grain Valley, Independence,
Lake Tapawingo and Lee's Summit. Annual enrollment

the state, increasing our student body by 300 each year.
Our mostly middle to upper-middle
class community enjoys a stable economy. Of our

area to work each day.
Our close proximity to Kansas City
allows residents easy access to a variety of social,
cultural and educational opportunities. For

2,100 students at its local campus. There is also
convenient access to over 54 colleges, universities, and
technical schools in the metro area.
