At Missouri Baptist College, teaching comes first. Though we have teachers engaged in research, their first priority is teaching. The teacher in a freshman history course will most likely be the same Ph.D. professor teaching senior level courses. Small colleges provide high quality education to all kinds of students. Because we are able to control our financial packaging we can admit students from a variety of backgrounds and not just those who are academically, socially, or financially elite.
Small colleges provide an education for a lifetime.
The liberal arts curriculum provides students with the ability to think logically and communicate effectively, tools that are necessary and sought after in today s world. When combined with pre-professional programs, a student is well prepared for further study or the job market. Small colleges emphasize values. At Missouri Baptist College we are interested in preparing students not only for making a living but making a life. Most of our students rate service to others as an important life goal and indeed our alumni can be found making a difference in the communities in which they live.
