Letter From the Director

Sandra Eckert-Stewart Our mission is to provide accredited, nationally recognized programs to you from a century old institution close to your home! Check out our extended sites: Kansas City, Kirksville, St. Joseph, Joplin, Chillicothe and Brookfield.

Educators will find many programs at all levels: Master, Specialist, and Doctorate. These degrees may include courses required for state certification in English Language Learners, Reading, Instructional Technology, Elementary/Secondary Principalship, and Superintendency.

Northwest Outreach also provides a certification for those aspiring to teach as a second career. If you already have a bachelor’s degree in a content area but need to be certified to teach, contact us for information regarding the alternative certification program! Northwest Outreach is available to serve your professional development (PD) needs through numerous PD partners.

Are you interested in providing dual credit to your high school students? We currently serve 24 districts and welcome new students and districts! Inquire about our newly approved Personal Finance option.

Northwest is now offering a MBA degree at the Kansas City Center in Liberty and the St. Joseph Center in downtown St. Joseph. Courses at the Kansas City Center are taught on alternate Thursday evenings and Saturdays. Courses at the St. Joseph Center are scheduled as night classes throughout the work week.

Refer to our calendar for advisement and informational evenings close to you. Our staff and local coordinators will be eager to assist you. We look forward to meeting you! Stop by anytime.

If you do not find a program of study at our Outreach site, please check with our Graduate Office for a full listing of Northwest Missouri State University graduate degrees.

Sincerely,

Sandra Eckert-Stewart, Ph.D.
