Learning by Doing

The Missouri Method is the University of Missouri’s approach to education – learning by doing (experiential learning). In the Trulaske College of Business, this is an important part of our curriculum and is a key contributor to the success of our students. Here are some examples of the Trulaske approach to the Missouri Method:
