Missouri State University Reviews

"Great programs in education, business, agriculture, and music. Horrible English Dept."

"I enjoyed my time at MSU and I enjoyed the BSW program. The professors make you work and reach outside of your comfort zone by volunteering with organizations that you might not otherwise volunteer with."

"I enjoyed the MBA program, there was a ton of group work, and a ton of international students. Most of the classes are heavily focused on major group projects. Great for learning to work with and manage teams, but there are sometimes issues with attempted free-riding. Professors are glad to help and willing to talk with you more outside of class."

"I had an awesome college experience. I made lots of friends, learned a lot and grew as a person."

"I loved it. Most wouldn't call my degree (creative writing) very useful, but being able to write opened several doors for me. I loved my experience in college. It taught me to think and ask questions."

"I loved it there! The city and campus has grown a lot since then. The downtown area is great, with local bars and restaurants."

"I received a well rounded education and many professors are active in the community and demand volunteerism as part of your grade. The classes the required volunteering were the ones I learned the most in."

"This school was large enough to be able to constantly meet new people, but not too large to be overwhelming. There was always something to do on campus."

"I loved college! I got involved in many things, hall council, student activities and in my Sorority, Gamma Phi Beta which I loved every second of. It taught me leadership, responsibility and gave me a great network of people to interact with after graduation as well. I wish I had known the financial responsibility of student loans that would appear after graduation. I don't feel I had enough education about scholarships, grants and opportunities for cheaper classess at community college."

"Missouri State offers exceptional faculty for the Master of Public Administration Program at an affordable rate for both Out of State and In State students. Small class sizes allow for students to have one on one time with faculty to allow for professional development."

"One of the biggest pros of my graduate program is the faculty. The professors are willing to help and are very dedicated to the students. I have been pushed to grow outside of my comfort zone."

"The MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) program has been great so far. It's a great way to transition from career to teaching -- get your teaching certification and Masters in ~2 years!"

"The program is a great value for the education and the price for classes. The teachers are all well qualified with work experience and not just classroom experience."

"The Missouri State MBA program is a challenging, resourceful, and excellent academic program. The program is comprised of 33 graduate level hours that include electives for an emphasis area, as well as a core formed of courses in all business areas. The MSU MBA is flexible, as it can be completed entirely online, and for the traditional setting students, the class size is appropriate. Professors within the program are valuable resources to students, as they not only support students inside the classroom but also offer career advice for the time after Missouri State.Read Less"

"The program as a whole is of very good quality. All professors seem to be of superior knowledge in their field of choice."

"This is a great program where you get a lot of hands on experience and podium time. Assistantships and other graduate level financial aide are hard to come by."

"One pro of my graduate program is having the option of taking classes online or on campus. I like that there are some courses offered on campus, but I can complete my degree all online if I need to. Another pro is the help availability and help I have received from my advisor. She is always willing to answer questions and help with anything I need. I have not experienced any cons with my graduate program so far."

"The faculty are extremely involved and helpful."

"The Applied Anthropology program at Missouri State University is an excellent program! The faculty is knowledgeable and accessible, and they work with you to help you plan your path and your career. The classes are small, and teach you the hands-on skills to obtain a job after graduation. Springfield, Missouri is a safe and affordable community, large enough to offer anything you need. I feel confident that I am well on my way to an amazing career!"

"The I-O track of the program is very strong. The professors are developmentally oriented, and extremely student-focused. I have learned so much since starting the program, and I feel that my degree is competitive. The program does require a lot of work, but it's doable with the wonderful teaching and support system that the professors provide."
