Missouri College was founded by Dr. S.L. Gilberg, D.D.S., in 1963. It was originally named the Missouri School for Doctors' Assistants in Clayton, Missouri. Gilberg was the executive director until 1966. The school introduced a Dental Assistant program in 1969.
A year later, the college became accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology. In 1989, Missouri School added a Computer Office Assistant program to its new business division. The school moved to Manchester Road in 1991.
In 1993, the school was approved for degree-granting status by the Accrediting Commission of Career Colleges and Colleges to offer Associate of Occupational Studies degree programs in both health and business career fields.

In September 2002, Career Education Corporation acquired Missouri College. Shortly after this purchase, Missouri College became approved as a bachelor's degree-granting institution.
