Missouri State University Reviews

"What was Southwest Missouri State University (SMSU) has now become Missouri State University (MSU) because it has grown so much. I am so proud of my Alma Mater. It was an excellent experience being in a Sorority, working for he radio station, teaching aerobics and being involved in Gospel and SMSU Choir. Get involved, make yourself known and do not be afraid to ask for help with anything and everything, it is your future!"

"I strongly do not recommend. Horrid faculty. Low class poor. What a rip off from larger more organized college. The faculty complain that they are being ripped off and try to pick up the students. Sexual harassing. All about the bible when I was studying science."

"The College of Natural and Applied Sciences of Missouri State University offered me a wonderful foundation. My courses within my degree program were taught by knowledgeable, personable professors. My adviser was not the most helpful unfortunately but I don't believe she is with the college any longer. Otherwise, great program and a great value!"

"Overall, I was very happy with my time at Missouri State University. It provided me with an amazing undergraduate experience and opportunities. There were a lot of extracurricular options that I was involved in that supplemented my degree. The biology program I was a part of was phenomenal, but I was not impressed with the physics department. The size of the University was ideal and fairly easy to navigate."

"Missouri State is passionate about helping student find their place in the community. I chose to attend this college because of their mission statement and their drive to give back to the local community. There are so many wonderful programs that are very successful. My program, Kinesiology, has taught me valuable life lessons and knowledge that I can apply to my own life as well as knowledge that I can spread with others around me."

"Missouri State University was a good university to attend for my masters degree. It was fairly close in proximity to my home, which was great since I was teaching full time. It offered a variety of classes, many of which required projects that were relevant to the classroom in which I was teaching at the time. Many of my professors had been previously employed in public schools so they knew what assignments would benefit us as practicing teachers. Obtaining my masters degree helped me grow as an educator as well as helped increase my salary. It was definitely a good choice for my career.Read Less"

"It's a fine university. Affordable but nothing very exciting."

"College is essential for preparing individuals for career opportunities and professional development."

"I love Missouri State. The student body is large enough (27,000+) to give it a big-time college atmosphere, but the campus is small enough to help with convenience."

"It was great school if you are looking for a compact campus with all the amenities of a large campus."

"Missouri State provided a great graduate school experience for me. The classes were small and personalized, with knowledgeable faculty members. Faculty members had multiple years of experience working in the social work field, which furthered my education."

"I enjoyed my time at MSU. I did not attend on campus but did visit a few times and had a good learning experience. I would recommend the school if looking into distance learning."

"Missouri State really is one of the best places to pursue a degree. I also did my undergraduate degree there and I always felt like the professors really wanted me to succeed. The program that I am in right now is challenging me beyond what I thought was possible and I love it because I am growing so much. There is nothing like loving going to class, and that is what I feel like about my classes at MSU. I would highly recommend this school based on the quality of teaching and it is a pretty campus. It is also very affordable. However, it does lack diversity and parking can be a challenge!Read Less"

The rigor of the courses and schedule is unparalleled, and applying necessary discipline to be successful in MSU's program certainly lays a foundation of success for anyone wishing to achieve elite status in their medical profession.Read Less"

"I have really enjoyed my time at Missouri State in the counseling graduate program. This experience has helped me to become a better professional and person overall. The guidance and model that my professors have provided me have not only prepared me for a career in this field but also have shown me what it means to be a counselor as a professional and individual. They have taught me skills that will impact all areas of my life now and in the future. My time in this program has been a once in a lifetime experience and I would not trade this experience for anything in the world.Read Less"

"The school overall was excellent. The teachers in my department were helpful and intelligent."

"Missouri State was a great place to go to graduate school. The campus is not overwhelmingly large and the academic program for biology students is high quality. It offers many opportunities for hands-on research experience across the various sub-disciplines."

"I am starting to work on my Education Specialist degree in Administration at Missouri State University. I received my Masters of Arts in Teaching at Missouri State and I was very happy with the teachers, the department leads, and the program overall."

"The professors were amazing in the Kinesiology department, they made sure that you know everything that you need to in order to succeed in a career in the health fields. At the end of your schooling you have to pass the Certified Exercise Physiologist exam to officially graduate. This turned out to be great for me because I ended up getting a summer job designing exercise programs for a business in town and made pretty solid money before going on to grad school."

"Missouri State University is a great college to attend. I had a great experience, made lots of friends and as an international student you get help anywhere you go."
