Its highest-earning path is Health and Medical Administrative Services, where graduates median $64,348 four years out. Faculty pay averages $81,636 a year here — a rough proxy for what the school spends on the teaching itself.

Submitters admitted here typically landed between 910 and 1170 — below the MO middle for four-year schools. Put your own practice estimate on Missouri Baptist University's range with the SAT calculator, or bring a saved GPA from the grade tools.
Admissions
Scores help here but aren't the gate. If your SAT sits inside the 910–1170 submitter range, sending it likely helps; below it, Missouri Baptist University's own policy says you can leave it out.
