College Advice on Missouri Southern State University

(=!*#$%&*^ Question: Missouri Southern State University? ? well im just browsing colleges and i saw MSSU.. just wondering, but does anybody go there, and if you do do you like it? and, is the nursing program good there? thanks for your help to all who answer! 15 months ago Amanda G Best Answer Hello, I work at MSSU now and I used to be a student here. I like/liked it. I don't know what reputation the nursing department has though, that wasn't my major. What I do know about are the people, they are really friendly and knowledgeable, they'd be more than happy to give you a tour and answer your questions. They are in a new building, next semester will be the first full semester in there. They don't expect you to enroll without checking them out first, feel free to contact the department 417-625-9322, Melissa will get everything set up for you.
