William Jewell College is a private, four-year liberal arts college of 1,274 undergraduate students located in Liberty, Missouri. It was founded in 1849 by members of the Missouri Baptist Convention. The college is named after Dr. William Jewell who donated the land the college was built on.

Academics

This writing-intensive program extends over all 4 years of college, with the junior year spent at either Oxford or Cambridge.
