MS Online has the perfect pathway for you to get started on your bachelor’s degree at a distance. All general education requirements can be fulfilled with online classes offered every semester. Start on the proposed path in fall or spring.
Please note that this is just one pathway that you may choose to get through the General Education Program (GEP) requirements completely online in 2 years. You may wish to work with your adviser to modify the pathway to suit your specific individual needs.
When two or more courses are noted with “OR” select one of the options to fulfill the GEP distribution (code) requirements. Please view the GEP worksheet for individual requirements.
Students must take a placement exam to enroll in English 110 and Math 135. Contact Sue Dover at (417) 836-6911 or SueDover@MissouriState.edu.
