TRANSFER WITH EASE Our programs lets you transfer your associate’s degree and lower-level prerequisites from Crowder College to MSU. Starting any summer semester, you can conveniently complete your bachelor’s degree in Cassville, Neosho, Nevada or Webb City. All lower-division prerequisities are available through Crowder, and upper division coursework is provided by Missouri State, all in the same location.
BEFORE YOU TRANSFER • Meet with your MSU transfer advisor, Larry Nichols, early in your college career to ensure you’re taking all the right classes to reach your academic goals. You may be admitted and begin taking courses with MSU while still completing your associate’s degree, if needed. • Complete required prerequisites and lower divison coursework. The Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT degree), is recommended because it will satisfy many of the requirements for your bachelor’s degree and certification; however, you may join this program with any AA degree if the appropriate prerequisites are taken.
