About the Company
Missouri Southern State University is a four year liberal arts public institution serving more than 5,600 students in over 140 academic programs offering undergraduate and graduate degrees. Internationally-focused semesters and enriching cultural events in theatre, art, music and film create an engaging learning environment for students and citizens of the region.

The Psychology Department, housed in the Julio S. León Health Sciences Center, provides the foundational skills for students to either start a career with a bachelor’s degree or to pursue further education. Class sizes are kept small, allowing a unique focus on the research skills that are vital to the field of psychology.

While collecting data for their project, they have access to high-quality human and animal laboratories.
