UMKC is best known for its pre-professional programs like the nursing, dental, pharmacy, and medical programs. The medical program here is great. It is an accelerated program which means that it is a combined bachelors and MD program. This allows the students to become a doctor in 6 years as opposed to 8. Also there is not a requirement for the MCAT and the students are medical students right out of highschool. Also we get to spend a lot more time in the hospital than a traditional pre-med student is able to.

This might seem ridiculous, but I would have to say that UMKC is best known for its mascot: Kasey Kangaroo. I believe there are very few universities that boast the kangaroo their mascot, and have a student body that refers to themselves as "roos." Kasey Kangaroo is such a fun and unique mascot that was originally drawn by Walt Disney!
