During my poetry class, the professor had a mental melt down which resulted in disorganized grad students teaching the course. The grades were reported late and I lost a scholarship because of it.
When I first started I asked my advisor the difference between a BA or a BS? She told me to take an intro class that she taught. The difference is a requirement for foreign language with a BA and a BS does not.
Long story short, the campus is full of disorganization where students fall into cracks of beauracrecy. Students be aware!

Overall Missouri State University is a wonderful university. There is a student organization for everyone! Getting involved is easy too. Also, there are lots of events on campus every week, that more times than not, are free. Sporting events are super fun! The education you receive here at Missouri State University is a great one. The professors truly care about you and your education.
I had the pleasure of attending this incredible school and could not have been more pleased with my time there. The professors are extremely easy to work with and get time with, they take a real attention to detail to you as a student. I was part of the Fraternity and Sorority Life at MSU and it was by far the best part of my time as a bear. The culture within the greek community is strong and it is without a doubt the place to go to find life long friends and make the most of your 4+ years. Bear Up!
