  • Degree: Biology
"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."

  • Degree: Exercise Science
"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."

  • Degree: Fitness Trainer
"I enjoyed what my time in school mostly. My department was generally good. The biggest thing is like all universities they care more about taking your money then anything else. So many of the classes that are required are a waste of time and money. I received a degree in a science field but half my time in school I was taking more classes on stupid worthless subjects like theater or religion. It won't happen schools make to much one off it but students should only take classes directly related to the degree and the purpose of the education should be to prepare a person for a job in the choose field"

  • Degree: Fashion
"I attend Missouri State University from 2004 to 2007. The fashion program was a great experience with staff that has relatable experience in the industry. The experiences that the program offered, trips to industry cities and overseas, were well planned and very influential on internships and future jobs. I would not say that this program is well known in the industry, but I felt that I was well prepared and given realistic experience during my time there."

"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."

  • Degree: MBA
"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."

"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."

"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.
