William Woods University is located in Fulton, Missouri, approximately 100 miles west of St. Louis in the state's central region. Established in 1870 as a female seminary before becoming a four-year college, the institution now operates as a co-educational university on a suburban 225-acre campus featuring a mix of historic and modern buildings. The university maintains a distinctive focus on equestrian studies, offering comprehensive programs in equestrian science and equestrian administration, alongside traditional programs in business, education, and visual arts. While the campus provides traditional residential facilities for students, it is particularly known for its equestrian facilities, which include four barns, multiple riding arenas, and cross-country riding trails. As an NCAA Division III institution, William Woods competes as the Owls in the American Midwest Conference.
