Who is my Advisor? Each department and academic program at
Missouri State University has identified a specific advisor who has
experience working with transfer students and understands the
policies that apply. As incoming transfer students are admitted,
they will be directed to schedule an appointment with an advisor on
our campus to discuss their academic plans and identify the
appropriate courses to take during the first semester. This
appointment must take place before a student is allowed to
register. Interested in pursuing a Business Degree? Contact the
