We Love Hands-On Learning
Applied learning is core to Missouri Western’s mission. Students in all our programs gain valuable experience outside of the classroom. They apply their knowledge in actual workplaces and participate in internships as well as create content for the University’s various media outlets: The Griffon News, Griffon Yearbook, and KGSM-Griffon TV.
