What Students Are Saying

this is the best place in missouri to learn/earn the degree you want.
Andrew from Nixa, MO
i am in some honors classes, and i know from experience that the work is challenging. however, it's not just the honors classes. every class i have been in so far has provided good work for me and forced me to spend a great deal outside of class studying.
Martin
The courses at the University of Missouri are difficult, but manageable. Working hard and not waiting to study until the last minute is essential in order to succeed. The professors and TA's are always willing to help.
Paige from Saint Peters, MO
Very challenging classes, but also very rewarding.
Bryndon from KC
As a nursing major, it is HARD. This is only freshman year and yes some classes are easier than others but just be prepared to actually study. Also, pay attention when you receive your grades, professors are human and make mistakes just watch for it. Lastly, do a mix of easy and hard classes.
Ashley from Saint Louis, MO
As a music major, I can attest to MU's ability to be academically rigorous. Time management is a must.
