密苏里大学2+2、3+2项目常见问题解答（不断更新中） 2.密苏里大学如果是正常的硕士生入学是需要读几年？ （因为有些学生在考虑是自己毕业后去申请还是直接跟该项目走） 正常的硕士是需要1.5~2年，因为中国学生的英文水平较差，在2+2及3+2项目中，学生到达MU后需要通过English 1000及英文写作强化训练。 密苏里大学庄教授的回答: In my 22 years tenure in U. Missouri I have never graduated a master student in 1.5 years and havent seen nobody ever did that.? Two years master is normal.? Also from my experience, most of Chinese master students have POOR English especially writing that hurt their career.? In 2+2 and 3+2, Chinese students are required to take English 1000 and English writing intensive at MU.? If they can pass an English test when coming to MU, they may get waiver of English 1000 (independent of their TOEFL score).? English 1000 and English writing intensive are part of curricula, required for both domestic and international students.?

But we do not encourage them to change major, for instance, from Software to 管理 since this dramatic change will need almost four years for them to graduate. At MU, students from Journalism School often take Computer Science as a minor while students from Computer Science often take Journalism as a minor. There are also other major/minor pairing. So I would suggest that if a student of software major but being serious in 管理 could simply choose CS as a Major but 管理 as a Minor. In China, due to overly recruiting, CS undergraduates might have a difficulty time in finding a good
