transfer northwest

As a Northwest Missouri State University student, you will receive a well-rounded education through small classes where the professors know your name, innovative hands-on learning experiences, more than 180 student organizations and access to the latest technology through our laptop rental program.

Northwest offers 135 programs of study, and 75 percent of our classes have fewer than 30 students. This means you have the same academic opportunities as you would at a large school, but with more individual attention from faculty who teach full time.

At Northwest, learning extends beyond the classroom. Education majors gain real world experience in the Horace Mann Laboratory School on campus, agriculture majors get their hands dirty on the University Farm, students research alongside growing businesses in the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and students staff numerous University publications, the campus TV station and two campus radio stations. In addition, more than 1,200 students build their rĂŠsumĂŠs through jobs right on campus.

Students at Northwest are actively involved in campus leadership. More than 70 percent

of students actively participate in student organizations, and more than 800 students donate their time to volunteering and service learning every year.

Involvement isn’t limited to upperclassmen, either. Whether through a student organization, research opportunities, on-campus job, hands-on learning experiences or service learning, students become involved starting their first year on campus.

Experience Northwest

Dr. Jamie Patton is known for getting her hands dirty on campus. Patton, an associate professor of agriculture, advises the soil judging team at Northwest. Last fall, the team qualified for its first American Society of Agronomy national competition, beating out the previous national champion and placing first in their regional competition.

Dr. Patton works with students in the campus orchard, campus/community garden, campus agronomy plots and the University farm, which are designed to provide students with hands-on experience in agriculture, including soil conservation, precision technologies, sustainable cropping systems and bioenergy crop production.

“Northwest’s small class size allows me to work one-on-one with students in the field, lab and lecture.”

Patton said. “Knowing my students as individuals helps me to customize learning and maximize student success in and out of the classroom.”

Armin Mühsam has lived throughout the world, but painting has become his primary language.

During the 2009-2010 school year, Mühsam, associate professor of painting and drawing at Northwest, shared his artwork in 22 exhibits across the globe, and was recognized with six awards.

Mühsam came to Northwest in 2000, after teaching painting and drawing in Munich. In the classroom, Mühsam’s focus is educating students about becoming an artist and showing students that their passions can be more than a hobby.

“The stuff that I do as an artist, as a painter, informs everything that I teach, starting with my own formative years,” Mühsam said. “Back then, I was always in awe of my teachers who were active as artists, how you could successfully express quite complex ideas visually, and also have success with the idea. Now I’m in the same place and I can hand that gained experience to my students.”

Dr. Rochelle Hiatt, an assistant professor in the psychology, sociology and counseling department, has taught at Northwest since 1996. In addition to her classroom duties, Hiatt serves as the director of Northwest’s school counseling master’s program, and as the coordinator for undergraduate internships in psychology.

The Northwest Missouri School Counselor Association recognized Dr. Rochelle Hiatt in 2010 as the School Counseling Supervisor of the Year.

“She is inspiring and has helped me a lot with my journey toward becoming a school counselor,” said Jennifer Biggar, a student of Hiatt’s. “Her knowledge of the classroom is refreshing and helpful.”

Broadcasting KZLX KZLX is a campus and community radio station operated for and by students. Getting on air requires only an introductory class, so students can gain experience at KZLX starting their second trimester. Opportunities available include on-air talent, promotions, news, sales and sports.

Students compete for paid positions on the station’s executive board, the management team.

KXCV/KRNW After gaining experience at KZLX, students have the opportunity to work at National Public Radio affiliate KXCV/KRNW. The station broadcasts in a 100-mile radius of Maryville and has a mix of programming, including NPR news, local news, sports, weather, classical/jazz music, talk shows and American music. Paid positions for students include work on air, as reporters and on KXCV’s website.

KNWT TV KNWT is Northwest’s cable television station that gives students the opportunity to produce weekly newscasts, sports shows, music video shows and game shows. Other special broadcasts and documentaries are also student produced. Programs are aired throughout Maryville and on campus.

Bearcat Productions Bearcat Productions is a semi-independent production company housed in the Department of Mass Communication. The company handles video project requests from a variety of corporations, which have included Heartland Hospital systems in St. Joseph, Kawasaki Manufacturing and the Red Cross. Students gain intensive hands-on experience in audio and video production, camera work and graphics production through paid positions, contracted work and internships.

“The hands-on activities, for me, are worth so much more than just learni ng about the theory of journa lism. By the ti me I graduate I will have had 2 1/2 years ex perience as a news ancho r at a professi on al radio station, and I’ve run a news dep artment at a weekly newsp aper for a trim ester – not everybody can say that. I’ve in terviewed a refugee from Sudan, I’ve cov er ed political rallies and I’ve met with monk s from Tibet.

These experien ces not only te ach me how to be a reporter , but I’ve learne d about the world around m e in the proces s, and that’s vital to any path I go on in the future. I’m entering the jo b market with so much more confidence than a lot of people my age, and that impresses potential employ ers.”

make the transition Transferring to Northwest Missouri State University is a simple process.

Listed below are the basics you need to know.

GETTING ACCEPTED For admission acceptance, you must have a minimum 2.00 cumulative transfer GPA. If your GPA is lower, your application may be reviewed for probationary admission. Beyond demonstrated academic competence, we may look for other qualities such as motivation, strong academic potential, dedication to learning, integrity and leadership. Ask the Office of Admissions for details.

GPA Northwest operates on a flat 4.00 scale – no pluses or minuses. Therefore, if you’re transferring from an institution that uses pluses and minuses, your GPA could be different here. Once you are a student at Northwest, grades from your previous institution will be factored into your cumulative GPA.

FRESHMAN TRANSFERS If you have fewer than 24 credit hours to transfer, your application will be considered based on your high school and college academic records. You will need to have your high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores sent to Northwest.

TRANSFERRING CREDIT Northwest will accept transfer credit from a regionally accredited institution on the following conditions: 1. The course is not developmental or remedial in nature 2. The course is not designed for vocational/ technical credit (unless pursuing a Bachelor of Technology degree; see the next page) Not all courses will have direct equivalents so they may be transferred as elective credit. For more information go to www.nwmissouri.edu/ admissions/transfer/equivalencies.htm and click on Articulation Agreements.

8

ASSOCIATE DEGREES An Associate of Arts degree from a regionally accredited institution will waive Northwest’s general education requirements. Other associate degrees will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Ask the Office of Admissions if your situation is applicable.

If you are transferring without an Associate of Arts degree, your transcript will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis.

GENERAL EDUCATION BLOCK Northwest will accept in transfer a successfully completed 42 semester-hour block of general education courses taken at a public institution of higher education in the state of Missouri to waive your general education requirements. These courses need to be designated by the sending institution as fulfilling the requirements of the statewide goals associated with specific skill and knowledge areas. Go to www.nwmissouri.edu/ advisementassistance/pdf/gened.pdf to check out Northwest’s general education requirements.

DIRECTED GEN EDS Certain degree programs (education and business for example) may have special requirements that cause exceptions to general transfer policies.

Check with the Office of Admissions regarding your situation.

Transfer of lower-division credits beyond the two-year degree Students may choose to continue coursework at a two-year school after they have completed a twoyear degree and/or 64 credit hours of lower-division credit. These additional lower-division requirements may be used to meet the lower-division prerequisites and/or lower-division graduation requirements established by a baccalaureate institution.

s All in the Detail ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS Northwest has several articulation agreements with other colleges which define how courses will transfer. Visit Northwest’s website to view a list at www.nwmissouri.edu/admissions/transfer/ equivalencies.htm.

PREREGISTRATION AND ORIENTATION A preregistration and orientation program has been designed specifically for transfer students prior to the start of all sessions. You will have the opportunity to meet with an advisor, register and become acquainted with Northwest. You will receive an invitation in the mail and must sign up to attend. If you are unable to attend the scheduled registration dates, you will register for classes during General Registration just prior to the start of the trimester.

HOUSING As a transfer student, you have options for living arrangements. Residence halls offer a chance to get to know your classmates. Tower Suites, Forest Village Apartments, South Complex and some floors of Franken Hall have been designated upperclassman, co-ed living facilities. There also are transfer floors in the high rise residence halls.

Programming is directed toward the needs of older students. Residence halls are air-conditioned and give residents easy access to outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts and intramural fields. Offcampus housing also is available in Maryville.

Check the website at www.nwmissouri.edu/ admissions/transfer/housing.htm for a partial listing of off-campus housing options.

THIS IS THE ‘VILLE Safe, friendly and relaxed. Maryville is a college town bursting with Bearcat pride, and there is always something to do.

■■ There are a variety of restaurants, from fast food to family dining.

AP AND CLEP EXAMINATIONS Northwest accepts the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Tests and the College Level Examinations Program (CLEP) examinations. The CLEP may be taken on the Northwest campus or at other institutional testing centers. Students may not receive credit for any of these exams in subject areas already enrolled in at the college level or in which college credit has already been granted. In order to receive credit, students must supply the Office of Admissions with original score reports from the testing agency and meet minimum score standards as listed in the Northwest catalog or online at www.nwmissouri.edu/admissions/ academics/dualcredit.htm.

CORRESPONDENCE STUDY Northwest Missouri State University does not offer correspondence courses. However, collegelevel courses taken by correspondence from accredited institutions are acceptable for transfer at the undergraduate level. Northwest offers online courses, which students find convenient if they need more flexibility.

BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY This degree is designed for students who have completed a one- or two-year vocational or technical certificate or a technically focused Associate of Applied Science (AAS) or Associate of Science (AS) degree, but have now set their sights on a bachelor’s degree. The curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Technology degree is individually developed for each candidate and provides for the transfer of non-college-parallel vocational or technical coursework from a regionally accredited college. Most students in this program have majors in agriculture, business or family and consumer sciences, but there are many options. Contact the Office of Admissions for more details.

ONLINE DEGREE COMPLETION PROGRAMS The Bachelor of Science in Business Management can be completed online through Northwest or through a combination of online and traditional campus-based classes. Northwest has entered into several articulation agreements with community colleges in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma to clarify transfer policies and procedures that assure articulation between programs. The institutions involved seek to assist students in making a seamless transfer from the associate degree to the baccalaureate degree.

Northwest accepts up to 84 credit hours in transfer for these online degrees. Visit Northwest Online at www.northwestonline.org or call 800.633.1175.

“I chose Northwest because it was the perfect size, affordable, and had a great theatre department. Most importantly, this is a loving, homegrown community. Good-hearted people swarm this place, and it shows. I’m heavily involved in the theatre department and have been in and casted plays. I am also involved with the forensics and debate team, Minority Men’s Organization and Spirit and Truth Gospel Choir. Everything I have done here has had a huge impact on my life and has been nothing short of wonderful. Northwest has simply changed my life for the better.

I am a Bearcat for life.”

Carl Stafford speech/theatre education major transferred from St. Louis Community College at Forest Park St. Louis, Missouri

“I chose Northwest because of the smooth transition from my community college, the small class sizes and the strong program reputation for my degree. The campus is the perfect size. It’s big enough that I feel like a real college student, but small enough that it feels unified. It is also very squirrel friendly.

I would encourage other transfer students to be sure to get involved in campus organizations and activities to make the transition easier. I quickly felt like I was part of the Northwest family through my involvement with Collegiate FFA and Collegiate Farm Bureau, and have made lots of new friends.”

Katie Eggers agricultural education transferred from North Central Missouri College Chillicothe, Mo.

“I chose Northwest because of the Interactive Digital Media major. Northwest makes the transition from a community college so easy. I can’t believe how well I fit in, and I love the class sizes.”
