General Information:
Missouri State University is a public, comprehensive metropolitan university system with
a statewide mission in public affairs with an enrollment of over 23,000, whose purpose
is to develop educated persons while guided by three overarching and enduring
commitments to student learning, inclusive excellence and institutional impact. The
University's identity is distinguished by its statewide mission in public affairs, requiring a
campus-wide commitment to foster competence and responsibility in the common
vocation of citizenship. The academic experience is grounded in a general education
curriculum which draws heavily from the liberal arts and sciences. This foundation
provides the basis for mastery of disciplinary and professional studies. It also provides
essential forums in which students develop the capacity to make well-informed,
independent critical judgments about the cultures, values, and institutions in society.
The task of developing educated persons obligates the University to expand the store of
human understanding through research, scholarship and creative endeavor, and
drawing from that store of understanding, to provide service to the communities that
support it. In all of its programs, the University uses the most effective methods of
discovering and imparting knowledge and the appropriate use of technology in support
of these activities.
University campuses are structured to address the special needs of the urban and rural
populations they serve. Missouri State University-Springfield is a selective admissions,
graduate level teaching and research institution. Missouri State University-West Plains
is an open admissions campus serving seven counties in south central Missouri.
Missouri State University-Mountain Grove serves Missouri's fruit industry through
operation of the State Fruit Experiment Station. The Extended Campus provides
anytime, anyplace learning opportunities through telecourses, Internet-based instruction
and through its interactive video network (BearNet).
The University also operates various other special facilities, such as the Darr
Agricultural Center in southwest Springfield, the Jordan Valley Innovation Center in
downtown Springfield, the Bull Shoals Field Station near Forsyth, Baker's Acres and
Observatory near Marshfield, the Missouri State University Graduate Center in Joplin
and a branch campus at Liaoning Normal University in Dalian, China. In addition,
Missouri State has the operations and program offerings of one entire academic
department, its Department of Defense and Strategic Studies, located near Washington,
D.C., in Arlington, Virginia.
