I'm planning on moving to Joplin, MO for college, and I'm wondering what colleges are in the area. I'm interested in both community colleges and four-year institutions. Can anyone give me some suggestions on where to start looking? Thanks!
Sure! There are a few colleges in and around Joplin, MO, so you'll have some options. I'll mention both community colleges and four-year institutions for you, starting with schools in Joplin.
1. Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) is a public four-year institution located in Joplin. They offer a wide variety of majors, including business, education, and health sciences.
2. Ozark Christian College is a private four-year college in Joplin, focused primarily on biblical studies and Christian ministry. If you're interested in pursuing a religious education, this might be a good fit.
Moving on to community colleges, you'll find:
1. Crowder College is a public two-year institution, and while it is not located in Joplin itself, it is quite close by in Neosho, MO. They offer various associate degree programs and certificates, and you can transfer those credits to a four-year institution afterward if you like.
2. Kansas City Kansas Community College has a technical education center in Pittsburg, KS, which is about an hour's drive from Joplin. This center offers vocational and technical programs in several fields, such as automotive technology and construction.
These are some of the nearby options, but you might also consider looking into online schools if you'd like a broader range of choices. I hope this provides you with a good starting point. Good luck with your college search!
