Tiger View

The Office of Graduate Studies is dedicated to enhancing the intellectual stimulation that comes from a diverse campus community. In keeping with this aim, our office has established several diversity and inclusion initiatives. One such effort is the TigerView campus visitation program. Prospective graduate students with a serious interest in pursuing a degree at Mizzou should apply to participate. TigerView is held in the fall semester of every academic year. Contact the Director of the Center for Inclusive Excellence wihin the Office of Graduate Studies for more information about the application process: Raquel Arouca, Ph.D. (aroucar@missouri.edu)

Who Are We Looking For?

U.S. citizens or permanent residents attending a U.S. college or university
Members of racial or ethnic groups that are underrepresented in graduate education (Black/African American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Hispanic/Latino, or Native Pacific Islander) and/or first generation college students, including those who participated in a Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program or Student Support Services Program, are strongly encouraged to apply
Students who have a genuine interest in research and plan to enter a master’s or doctoral degree program the upcoming fall semester following the TigerView program (i.e. rising seniors, master’s students, or individuals not currently enrolled who have already earned a bachelor’s or master’s degree)
Strong academic record
Interest in one of MU’s graduate programs

Program space is limited, so the Office of Graduate Studies particularly seeks to invite students who will contribute to TigerView, and eventually the University community, through their informed perspective gained by participating in the program.
