That happened this fall. When Southwest Missouri State became Missouri State, Central was authorized to drop "state" from its name also.
The college president polled a lot of the Alumni and most of us were in favor of the name change. So, Central Missouri State University became the University of Central Missouri effective Sept. 20, 2006. It's Central's fifth name change since 1871: Normal School #2, Central Missouri State Teachers College, Central Missouri State College, CMSU and now just UCM.
