Education


With more than 20 universities and colleges enrolling about 113,000 in four-year institutions, the St. Louis area produces nearly 26,000 graduates with bachelor’s, post-bachelor’s or professional degrees each year.

The area also has an extensive network of community colleges, which enroll an additional 74,000 students, as well as vocational and technical training facilities and some of the most esteemed elementary schools and high schools in the country. As a result, Greater St. Louis is a great learning environment in which to grow up, as well as a sought-after destination for thousands of people from around the country — and the globe — who are attracted to its top-tier education resources every year.

Many of the best and brightest who study in St. Louis enjoy the community so much that they decide to plant their roots here after earning their degrees. In fact, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to St. Louisans in nearly every Nobel category — physiology, medicine, chemistry, physics, and literature. Among those benefiting from this situation, of course, is the St. Louis business community. A smart, hard-working work force fuels the growth of companies throughout the region.
