Missouri State University, home to over 24,000 students, is the second-largest university in the state of Missouri. With a student to faculty ratio of approximately 19:1, students often find themselves in small classrooms where professors know their students individually. With the university's distinct mission in public affairs, the campus is always filled with an array of university activities and opportunities to promote ethical leadership, cultural competency and community engagement. 

As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available.
