The following are student organizations offered at Missouri Baptist through the Education Department:

The organization encourages pre-service educators to initiate leadership, workshop, and networking opportunities for peers in the formative stages in their careers and to gain valuable experiences that will enhance their knowledge of major issues and trends in education.
