Beginning this fall, students at the Neosho, Nevada, and Cassville locations of Crowder College will be able to complete a Bachelor of Science in general business entirely by taking online and evening classes at their local Crowder site. Thanks to a continuing partnership between Crowder College and Missouri State University in Springfield, these students can complete a four-year degree without relocating or commuting to a university campus.

Crowder students would complete Crowders associate degree and then seamlessly transfer to Missouri State. After being admitted to the university, they will take Missouri States upper-level business courses at their local Crowder location. Classes will be offered at times designed to be convenient for working students. Missouri State's business programs are accredited by AACSB International, the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide.

Students in the program will receive a broad education in all aspects of business operations, preparing them for a variety of entry-level management positions in both the private and public sectors. Graduates may pursue a wide array of careers or continue their studies in an MBA program.

Other joint programs with Missouri State offered at these sites include obtaining a B.S. in elementary education. Joint programs in applied science (agriculture) and in social Work are available also but only in Neosho.

Students interested in pursuing any of these Missouri State programs at Crowder should contact Missouri States outreach coordinator, Larry Nichols, at (417) 629-3941 or by sending an e-mail here.
