Not sure if Distance Format courses would be right for you? Take this little quiz and perhaps it can help you decide.

The Division of Lifelong Learning can provide you with distance courses that make degrees available to you anywhere, and anytime. (Hear what some of our instructors have to say about their courses.)

All of the courses at Southern are created by Southern faculty. We do not use third party created courses or farm out our courses to individuals not directly connected to Missouri Southern. We take pride in our instructor created and instructor monitored courses.

Whether you choose DVD, Internet, Blended or Televised courses you can be assured of student support through our Blackboard help desk that can be reached via phone (417-625-9885), online Chat (click on Live Support above), or email (blackboardhelp@mssu.edu).

If you are a totally distance student, have located your needed classes, and are eligible to enroll, use this on-line pre-registration form. Your success is our success.

Thank You for Choosing Missouri Southern
