Mission

The mission of the Extended Campus is to provide leadership in coordinating University, community, and global resources to promote lifelong learning.

We address the changing needs of our many publics through outreach, responsive educational programming and multiple delivery systems. Our purpose is to encourage and facilitate the continued development of the educated person.

The Extended Campus implements the Missouri State University public affairs mission and executes the University's primary purpose of "preparing educated persons" through a wide variety of dynamic programs and services.

Our special charge is to:

Provide support services for adult and nontraditional students

Initiate opportunities for lifelong learning

Administer outreach programs throughout the University's service area

Facilitate professional development and special credit programs in response to community needs

Through the Extended Campus, Missouri State University is making a major outreach commitment in response to the changing needs of Missouri citizens throughout southwest Missouri and beyond. To accomplish this outreach mission, a wide range of traditional and technology-based delivery systems are being used to provide coursework that has previously been unavailable.
