The department and area I am interning in is a very good department. Graduates from this department are daughters after all around the country. The teachers are very thorough in their teaching. If anyone has questions they answer it to the best of their ability, and if they don’t know, they find it or ask the student to look it up. They teach with as much hands on as they can, and show visual images for those things that cannot be hands on. I would recommend the Respiratory Therapy department and field of study to anyone out there who is considering something but not sure what they want to do yet. It is the best kept secret in the medical field. If you are looking for a school that has a lot to offer yet is in a smaller community, Missouri Southern State University is the place for you!
I am currently going into Missouri Southern as a freshman, but have dealt with them in the past as a dual enrollment student. I have found that when you need the help, the professors are very helpful, and my advisor is AMAZING! She is very helpful and when I have a question about my financial aid, the department is very quick at responding. The professors that I have had in the past were great, but like all colleges, you do end up with some professors that are stricter than others so just be wary.
I love Missouri Southern! All of the professors I’ve had are always more than willing to help you, and are kind. The student body is pretty friendly as well. There are a few things that need updated and worked on, but other than that, I love this university! This is not really a party school (I’m not complaining. I’m here to learn after all!) The sports are ok. It just all depends on which one you’re talking about. The location of this school is excellent! It’s just on the outskirts, and it’s not hard to get anywhere you need. Joplin is just the right size to start out in if you’re from a smaller town like me. There are fun activities almost every week for students to participate in, and sometimes they even show movies.
