Northwest's Kirksville Outreach Center
In 1996 Northwest Missouri State University established the Outreach Graduate Center for Northeast Missouri at the Kirksville Area Technical Center (seen above). Bill Harrison served 5 years as the first Education Coordinator for the Outreach Program. Larry Smith has served as the Education Coordinator since July of 2001.
One goal of the center is to offer seven M.S.Ed. degrees and one Ed.S. degree. Our plan includes delivering every degree in 32 graduate credit hours and, if possible, for all classes for these degrees to be offered in Kirksville either face to face or via Interactive TV. These class offerings would be delivered face to face at the Kirksville KATC site or through the ITV facilities of the Kirksville Telecommunication Community Resource Center (seen below).
