MSU, Drury partner to expand graduate programs

MSU President Michael Nietzel and Drury interim President Todd Parnell yesterday signed a memorandum of understanding on the Drury campus.

Through the collaboration, undergraduate students will be allowed to enroll for a limited amount of graduate coursework during their junior or senior years.

Drury undergraduates will be able to participate in MSU’s accelerated master’s programs in biology, cell and molecular biology, chemistry, geospatial sciences, materials science, mathematics, religious studies and public administration. MSU students will be eligible for admission into Drury’s Master of Arts in Integrated Marketing Communication program.

Short-term study abroad programs at the universities will be available to students of both schools. MSU students can spend a semester at the Drury campus in Volos, Greece, and Drury students can study at MSU’s campus in Dalian, China.
