Learning in the field
You sometimes hear students on this campus complaining about things they’d like changed around here.
It’s easy to point out what could be better and whine about things you have no influence on. It’s human nature.
But the fact is, there are some areas where Western really excels, and it would do the student body good to take notice. There are some reasons to be proud of our university.
Among those reasons is our excellent applied learning program, and the multitude of opportunities do get our hands dirty in our field of study.
Students at Missouri Western really have a leg up on the competition when it comes to getting marketable experience. From The Mochila Review to internships, from research projects with professors to study abroad opportunities, students here are given a variety of opportunities not afforded to students at every college.
The administration has wisely made it a goal to involve every student in some sort of hands-on learning experience before the individual graduates.
Western is not satisfied with having students who are simply able to sit through lectures and regurgitate memorized facts.
We are to be experienced, knowledgeable graduates, ready for anything the post-graduation world might throw at us.
That is the goal, anyway. Finding ways to keep students involved in the world around them instead of buried in books is a testament to the dedication to continual improvement of the opportunities offered here.
