From Missouri State University

When you stand up. When you have the world's attention. When you have your chance to be heard. What statement will you make?

This question is central to the positive impact we make in our state and beyond. With it, we empower students and campus community members to become global citizens who influence society for the better.

At Missouri State, you can choose from 170+ undergraduate programs in business, education, health, the arts, agriculture and more. Outside the classroom, you’ll find 375+ organizations and traditions celebrating the Bears all year long.

We also believe in experiences like internships, networking and educational trips. With 92% of our graduates securing employment or continuing their education within six months of graduation, you'll be ready to change the world as a Citizen Bear.
