ABOUT MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY

Missouri State University is a metropolitan campus located in the heart of Springfield, Missouri. 

Missouri State, with its over 21,000 student enrollment, offers more than 150 undergraduate majors and 47 graduate programs—many are the state’s strongest and largest of their kind.  The average class size is 26 for freshman and sophomore level courses and 16 for junior and senior level courses.  Nearly 90 percent of Missouri State’s 700 full-time faculty members have a doctorate or the highest degree in their field.  At Missouri State you will see all the resources of a major university while still receiving that personal attention you would only expect from a smaller school.  Missouri State students also get the competitive edge through the state's largest internship program, which encourages employers throughout Missouri and the world to hire our graduates.  Missouri State graduates have also gone on to succeed at top graduate and professional schools across the country.

The Missouri State campus is compact.  The design of our campus and the ease it takes to get from class to class is rare at a university of our size.  Missouri State students seldom have more than a five minute walk between classes.  Students also enjoy outstanding academic and athletic facilities.  From the Meyer Library to the Plaster Sports Complex and the new JQH Arena our students can be proud of their campus.  

 

In addition the campus dormitories are among the best in the nation.  Lady Bear student-athletes typically are housed in suite style dorms that include private bathrooms and a separate kitchenette and dining area.  These suite style dorms are virtually a small apartment making on-campus living comfortable.  Free laundry services and dorm side parking are also a perk for students living on campus
