Welcome to Missouri State University-West Plains! We, the faculty, staff and administration, are pleased that you have selected our campus for the journey you are undertaking. Whether you are seeking a degree or certificate, preparing to transfer to a four-year institution, acquiring new job skills, or taking a course for personal enrichment, we are here to meet your needs.

This catalog is designed to serve as an academic road map to student success. It describes individual course and degree programs and lists the names of our faculty and their academic qualifications. It also contains an explanation of University policies and procedures and the structure of the curriculum, details our mission and goals, and provides a listing of the special services we offer to enhance your learning experience. We developed this catalog as a guide to show you who we are, how we conduct business, what we expect of you as a student, and what services are available to you.

The Missouri State University-West Plains experience will differ for each of you, but all of us operate within the framework described in this catalog. I think you will find it an important tool and reference as you plan your course of study, attend classes, take part in other university events, and look to the future. We are excited that you have chosen to join us, and we look forward to working with you to ensure you receive a quality education.

Sincerely,

[Chancellor's Signature]
