Research

Research is an essential contribution by the University, and Missouri State encourages and facilitates research for three primary reasons:

  • Contributes to the public good
    Both applied and basic research have the potential to enhance the quality of life for all.
  • Encourages faculty development
    Research keeps faculty current in the issues and methods driving their respective disciplines.
  • Enhances the educational process
    Research ensures "cutting edge" professors engage students and promote academic skills.
