Invest in your organization

By hosting a Missouri State University graduate assistant, you're an extension of the university. You’ll gain access to:

  • Innovative thinking and cutting-edge research.
  • A fresh perspective on your industry.
  • Strong work ethic and eagerness to apply knowledge to real world problems.
  • An extended interview period, allowing you to fully evaluate the fit of the candidate with your business.
These graduate assistants are employees of the university - not your organization. We'll work closely with you to make sure this partnership is a success.
