Missouri State University President Clif Smart has a clear goal.
“We want to be the undergraduate choice for Missouri. That’s our focus,” he says.
Smart and other Missouri State leaders point to 2005 as a turning point, when the campus changed names from being a directional school, Southwest Missouri State University, to simply Missouri State University.
“That has been hugely important for us,” the college president said. “Our foundation has more than doubled, grants have more than doubled. It’s just been a different game with recruiting students, international students and faculty. The whole profile of the university has changed.”
