Meet Jordan Clubb, a transfer student from Springfield, MO!
Jordan transferred to MSU from Ozarks Technical Community College, where she earned an associate’s degree. Jordan is pursing the Psychology program at Missouri State University.
When asked why she chose to transfer to Missouri State University, Jordan says, “I wanted to have a larger range of classes that coincided with my major and that were affordable. My credits also transferred over easily to MSU.”
That leads to not only Jordan’s most challenging, but also most experience when transferring to Missouri State University. Jordan says it was a challenge to, “double- and triple-check that all the classes I had previously taken transferred over with me” and to “make sure I had all the substitutions necessary”. But Jordan says the most enjoyable part of her experience was working with those who made that happen. Jordan really enjoyed “working with the transfer department and my academic advisors.”
If Jordan could give some advice to a new transfer student, Jordan would recommend that transfer students “do their research and communicate. Both are critical. Find your classes, and the semester that you want to take them, and map it all out. Communicate with your advisor and/or the transfer staff about any questions you have, or any substitutions that need to be put in place.”
Jordan would like to use this opportunity to give a shoutout to the people who helped the most in her transition to Missouri State University: Donna Rebmann (the MSU-OTC transfer specialist), who “was a huge help”, and her older brother, Preston, (who also transferred to MSU), who “already had a sense of what to look for and where to find it”.
