   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities in the United States, Missouri State University stands out as a public institution with multiple study locations and a defined set of bachelor’s programmes rather than a very small specialist profile. Its mix of campus-based study in Missouri and additional business study in China gives it a wider geographic reach than many U.S. universities of similar type.
