California students get an amazing value Cost of Missouri State versus California colleges Our cost for out-of-state residents is competitive with the in-state cost for many California schools. Our price becomes even lower when you factor in that many California students at MSU don’t pay out-of-state fees thanks to waivers and scholarships. Lastly, about 75 percent of all MSU students earn financial aid, which makes us an even greater deal!

Experience

Why choose the College of Business?

National accreditation: All programs within the business unit in the College of Business are fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Among colleges and universities in the United States offering business degrees, only 10 percent have been granted this status.

Prominence: We are the largest College of Business at a public institution in the central Midwest.

Dedicated advisors: The College of Business has its own advisement center just for business students. The staff of professional advisors will help you plan and monitor your degree progress.

Faculty: Many business faculty members have won teaching and research awards, have practical experience in their fields and are nationally recognized for their research or accomplishments. All courses are taught by faculty members.

Graduate students do not provide classroom instruction.

Career resources: A Career Center in Glass Hall, the home of the College of Business, can help you prepare for interviews and find internships. Missouri State’s internship program is one of the largest in the Midwest. Business students are highly sought after by a large number of employers — more than 200 companies come to campus each year to recruit.

A personal touch: Our students get one-on-one time with their advisors, their professors, deans and other professional mentors.

Entrance requirements

Living-learning community

Admission to the College of Business is separate from admission to Missouri State University. Students may be admitted to the COB when they have reached junior status through their number of MSU hours or transfer-credit hours. Students who want to be admitted to a degree program in the COB must have a grade point average of at least 2.5 and complete the prerequisite courses.

The Bears Business Community, or BBC, is a living-learning community supported by the COB. In living-learning communities, students with similar interests or majors live on the same floor in a residence hall. They participate in social and academic activities related to their interest area, so it is easy for students to find friends and study partners.

It’s considered an honor to be selected, so we’re looking for the best first-year students who are interested in business and leadership opportunities. The BBC is primarily for students who had a high school GPA of 3.0 or more. About 90 students will be selected.

HIGH SCHOOL: Combermere School HOMETOWN: Bridgetown, Barbados

Why I chose Missouri State: I am on the University’s field hockey team, and I chose MSU because it provided me the opportunity to participate in both athletics and academics.

Why I like the MSU student body: It has a little bit of everything.

My field hockey team is a great reflection of our diverse students, since I have colleagues from the U.K., Canada and Australia.

How my professors show they care about students: I do feel the COB faculty and staff care. They show this by requiring students to complete assignments that are

tied directly to both personal and career development.

Plans after college: First, to work at a U.S. firm in accounting or finance; next, to return to Barbados, secure a job and begin a family.

Why I know COB has helped me succeed: The COB has allowed me to be exposed to varying subject matters as well as experiences.

These have all tied together to provide me with a set of skills that can transfer from role to role. I think that is critical to be successful after college and I am grateful for the expanded opportunity.

>>> COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS Your CIS curriculum will include topics such as how to use many kinds of hardware and software, how to create Web pages for businesses, how to use programming languages and more. Missouri State has been offering CIS training for a long time and has built relationships with many impressive businesses including IBM, Microsoft and Oracle.

There is a strong market for CIS graduates from Missouri State. Students have received internships from some of the best information technology companies in the country. Our seniors often receive job offers far before graduation.

ZECHARIAH CAMPBELL MAJOR: Computer Information Systems HIGH SCHOOL: Union High School HOMETOWN: Union, Mo.

Why I chose Missouri State: For one, the price was good.

Two, I really liked Springfield and the campus of MSU. It’s big and small at the same time; you can get from one side to the other in five minutes, but there’s still a lot going on.

Favorite part of being a business student: The companies we get to talk to through career fairs and student groups. I am in the Association of Information Technology Professionals, and I’ve gotten to talk with recruiters from Conoco, Phillips 66, Accenture and Microsoft. I even have a summer internship offer with Phillips 66 in Bartlesville, Okla.

Best advice to new students: Get involved! After I got involved in Association of Information Technology Professionals, I met more people in my degree, I met more companies, I got a job opportunity and I went to a national conference.

Plans after college: Go to graduate school in computers, specifically robotics, then hopefully get a high-tech job and grow my own businesses.

>>> FASHION AND INTERIOR DESIGN Our students hone their creativity and strengthen their business skills. Students learn using the latest technology.

We have software that lets users see how fabric, detail and style choices would look together — software in use at many real design houses. Interior design students have access to one of the most comprehensive “sample libraries” in the state. Design firms and suppliers provide wallpaper, flooring and more, which students may use in projects. Faculty members have relationships with national and international leaders in their fields, and students may use these connections for networking, internships and more. Students are also encouraged to visit cities that are design hubs; at least one study tour is offered each year to locations in the U.S. or Europe.

Why I chose MSU: I needed a change because I had lived in California my entire life! I have two cousins who graduated from here, and another cousin who just started. I loved that Missouri State has a fashion department, and it’s a really good one. I want to learn the best way to construct clothes, and they prep you really well for that here.

Dream job: Designing custom denim.

The MSU Fashion Show, held each spring at the Springfield Expo Center, features student collections and other designs by those in fashion program.

More than 1,000 guests attend, including industry professionals. Interior design students also get a showcase each year: The best work of senior students is displayed at the MSU Interior Design Senior Show.

Web: www.missouristate.edu/fid >>> Email: FID@missouristate.edu >>> Phone: 417-836-5136

Why students from California should come to MSU: You really get to know your teachers. They can help you with networking. Here, there is not that stereotypical

competition between fashion students. We bounce ideas off each other. And it’s an amazing campus, it’s not as crowded as schools in California, and it’s cheaper!

Don’t exclude it because of any prejudgments about the Midwest. This is really a place where you can follow your passion, because that is exactly what I am doing. I am getting to do what I want to do and I love it. I would say come on out!

Coolest class project: My “crazy skirt”! I took construction paper then dyed it, waxed it, sealed it and attached coyote tails to it.

>>> FINANCE AND GENERAL BUSINESS Missouri State graduates are known in the business world for being great employees and leaders. We continually update our programs to meet the needs of the current business climate. For instance, Missouri State has the only risk management and insurance program in the state, and students may choose this as a major or minor. Our students may travel to top business destinations such as New York City to see financial markets in operation or meet alumni working in their industries. Students also have plenty of opportunities to study abroad.

MAJORS Finance (options in): - Finance - Financial Planning - Real Estate General Business Risk Management and Insurance

MINORS Finance Financial Planning General Business Legal Studies in Business Risk Management and Insurance You could visit a financial center such as Chicago, New York or London as a finance or general business student at Missouri State.

LEIA BREITHAUPT MAJOR: Finance MINOR: German HIGH SCHOOL: Belleville East High School HOMETOWN: Belleville, Ill.

Why I choose MSU: I really like the friendliness! I first discovered it when I toured campus, but that feeling just grew as I lived here.

How the College of Business has helped me succeed: The finance professors have told me about jobs and career fairs. They have gone out of their way in class to say “this is something you are going to use in real life,” then show us how to do it. They are accessible, and not just for their 50-minute class period.

They really do want you to come by during their office hours and get to know them, talk about class or about real-world work situations.

Favorite way to hang out on campus: I enjoy being outside and riding my bike, seeing what’s going on. Campus is really pretty; I love the spring with the new flowers.

Why MSU is a great value: Missouri State offers good scholarships. I am even from out of state and I got good scholarships and was able to come here fairly cheaply.

Plans after college: At College of Business career fairs, I have talked with Jack Henry, BKD Wealth Advisors and U.S. Bank. I would like to work with any of them — I have a lot of applications to fill out!

HOMETOWN: Oxnard, Calif.

Why I came to MSU: I wanted to explore new places.

I started college in New York but had to leave for financial reasons. I wanted a school that was more affordable but still out of California, because that was where I grew up. I had never seen the seasons! When I got here I loved the campus; it’s a really pretty school and the size is just right.

My favorite part of being a COB student: They engage you in all aspects of business — you learn marketing, finance, accounting so you get a good, broad background of what you will need to know.

Dream job: Have my own coffee shop, with relaxing music and comfy couches.

How I would describe Missouri State to others in California: People are very nice here. They will hold the door for you and talk to you at stores. When someone says “can I help you?” here, they mean it.

Best thing about living on campus: I live in Sunvilla Tower, which houses a lot of international students. I live with two people from China, so I get to talk to them about what their home is like.

Why MSU is a great value: I have the Out-of-State Fee Waiver. It was very easy to get — it was just offered to me; I didn’t even know about it!

>>> MARKETING Our marketing students really put their training into practice! You will do projects that prepare you for realworld business activities. In the advanced selling course, for example, students give professional-level presentations and are critiqued by their peers and professors.

The department also encourages internships and study-away experiences.

Why I choose MSU: I wanted to get away from home to be a bit more independent. I wanted to play soccer and I wanted to go into business, and I was told they had one of the top business schools in the country. Missouri State had everything I wanted.

Coolest class project: Service-learning projects for nonprofits. Clients come to class, tell us their goals and we design a campaign that involves ads, brochures, billboards or spots on radio or TV. The clients can actually use our ideas. It’s great to work with real clients as a student.

Why California students should consider MSU: There are just so many opportunities here for academics and activities, and I am still coming across them every day.

I love the school. I have had a lot of fun. And no, you won’t be “in the boonies” like some of my California friends were teasing me about. Springfield is a busy and fun city!

Why MSU is a great value: I have two scholarships from MSU. Tuition has been going up at so many California schools. This was such a value compared to most of the schools I was considering.

>>> TECHNOLOGY AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Our TCM programs have the highest levels of recognition — for example, construction management is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education. Classes are taught by faculty members who have professional experience, so students learn from people who have actually been on the job. Students can expect experiences such as internships and hands-on projects. Also, Missouri State has relationships with many local contractors, so students have opportunities to see real job sites. In addition, our students enter and win national and international contests. This all builds up to success: Almost 100 percent of our graduates have job offers by graduation day.

Coolest project I have worked on: Dr. Kerry Slattery’s structures class. He designed a way to test how much pressure concrete could take before cracking, so we were basically blowing up concrete columns in class!

How the COB faculty and staff show they care about my success: In TCM, they remind us all the time which companies are coming in to provide information. They’re even conducting a round table for us, bringing in 40 or 50 companies to talk to us about potential job offers and internships.

Why I loved my internship in Alaska: It was a summer internship, 3,800 miles from home. I left for 90 days, went up there and worked with a contractor. I started out as an intern, but when they saw my capabilities, they gave me my own office and I was helping to manage three different jobs!

Plans after college: I plan to travel around out West somewhere. I have a couple of job offers, including one from the place I did my internship.

There’s a good chance that I’ll go back to Alaska because it was a great opportunity and there’s more I want to do!
