Missouri College was founded in 1963 to help fill the need for trained professionals in dental and medical offices in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Over the years, our programs have evolved to keep pace with the demands of the marketplace and the needs of employers. In addition to the dental and healthcare programs offered, we have added programs in the areas of Business Administration and Massage Therapy.
Fontbonne University Fine Arts Gallery's mission is to encourage and support the artist and the education of the visual arts in the community through its exhibitions and programs. We value the artist and their work by promoting and supporting them through exhibitions, gallery talks, education and outreach programs. We want to help build audiences for the artist’s work by providing the community with a venue to view quality art. We believe in creating an educational environment for both the artist and audience to interact for a more personal experience of art. We serve Artists - young, emerging, and professional; Art Viewers - novice, those seeking more knowledge and experience of the arts; Art Collector; and Special Populations. We reach out to these communities by providing professional art programs and encouraging the participation of art through a variety of learning opportunities. The Gallery renovation was generously funded by the Fontbonne Community Connection January 2011. The Figure Now Exhibition was the first exhibition in the new space.
We believe that a student’s critical awareness of the world and adeptness in oral and written communication provide a lasting basis for professional success and a fulfilling life. By providing solid grounding in English or communication studies, courses in each major develop the skills and perspective that enable students to adapt to change and devise creative solutions to new problems. Optional professional concentrations in broadcasting, journalism, professional writing, public relations, and teacher certification prepare students for specific careers. We also offer internship opportunities and a variety of extracurricular activities. Dynamic classes, a growing number of majors, and the long-term success of our alumni demonstrate the relevance of our programs to a diverse and changing society. Fontbonne students who have majored in English or communication studies have pursued careers in law, advertising, public relations, teaching, business, politics, journalism, and broadcasting.

The ability to communicate is our most precious human characteristic. When a person cannot communicate, isolation from friends, family and society often occurs. Nearly 10 million Americans have a speech, language and/or hearing disorder. Speech-language pathologists and deaf educators provide services to enhance the lives of those with communication disorders. All faculty members in Fontbonne University's Communication Disorders and Deaf Education department have the academic preparation and the practical experience to prepare teachers of the deaf or speech-language pathologists. Deaf education faculty members have teacher certification and speech-language pathology faculty members are licensed by the state of Missouri and certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
