Mission University (MU) is a private Baptist Bible college in Springfield, Missouri. Founded in 1950, MU focuses on training Christian professionals and ministers. It offers accredited associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees.
The numbers here tell a concerning story: only 38% of students graduate, and those who do earn a median of $33,300 a decade later — a modest return that makes every dollar of cost matter. The $21,887 annual net price and relatively low debt at graduation ($16,000) are genuine bright spots, suggesting the school does work to keep borrowing manageable. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan to be among the students who finish — and a frank conversation about why so many don't.
