“From my very first year, I found a genuine sense of belonging – belonging to a college that expressed a sincere interest in the education and development of young people. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the faculty of the Chemistry Department – a team of professors dedicated to the growth and success of its graduates.”

"As a non-traditional student, I was looking for a way to get beyond an entry level position. The MAS Chemistry degree was the perfect answer for me. I was able to bypass the entry level requirements and transition directly to a position as a lab manager."

Deborah Wright, BS '07, MAS '09
Laboratory Manager, IIALS

"When I graduated from Missouri Western, I realized I was much better prepared to enter the workplace than students from any other college or university around. I found that I had better skills in the lab and more hands-on experience than they had. My 'golden' experience was winning a national chemistry award for my research and being awarded a grant to present it at a national meeting."

Kim Willis, '02

“As a graduate student, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the educational resources and the quality of instruction available to me as an undergraduate student were equivalent to larger and more expensive universities. In some respects, the smaller class size and ability to work more closely with faculty gave me an advantage.

The faculty at Missouri Western truly care about the students and want them to succeed. Now that I am a university instructor, I am trying to give my students the same attention and commitment that I was given while an undergraduate student at Missouri Western.”
