Missouri Western State University is a model for the new American regional university, characterized by applied learning and applied research and service. Our educational focus is on creating opportunities for students to connect the theory of the classroom with practice in the public and private sectors. Thus, upon graduation, students are well prepared to build careers, continue their education, and to contribute as citizens of the world. Regardless of the major, when students graduate from Missouri Western they possess more than a degree; they also have real world experience in their field of study. In fact, most majors require students to complete at least one internship, practicum, research project or clinical as a part of graduation requirements. To meet this requirement, Western students work with faculty members and professionals in the field to complete challenging projects. Opportunities are available for students to work with a faculty member on a research project or grant, to study in places around the world such as London, Belize, Honduras, Germany, Mexico, or Ireland, and to learn through service in the region.
