About Missouri State-West Plains Shannon Hall Campus
Shannon Hall is home to Missouri State University-West Plains’ campus in Mountain Grove. Students can complete the Associate of Arts in General Studies degree, which fulfills many, if not all, of the general education requirements necessary to transfer to a four-year institution, or they can take classes toward one of the many career programs offered by Missouri State-West Plains. Associate of Applied Science or Associate of Science degrees are technical, hands-on, two-year programs geared toward preparing students to enter the workforce immediately after graduation. Many of these degrees have courses that are available online, allowing students to complete several of the course requirements closer to home at the Mountain Grove campus.
