Student Story

Why choose Mizzou?

Haley Derdiger

Strategic Communications major from Dallas, TX

"I chose Mizzou because I was looking for a new experience out of state. I am a J-School student, and Mizzou’s program is the best! I loved the college town that COMO had to offer and overall, the community just felt right. So far, Mizzou has been absolutely incredible. Go Tigers!”
