- The MINOS+ experiment is an on-axis neutrino oscillation search situated in the Fermilab NuMI beam. We utilize νμ→νe \nu_{\mu}\rightarrow\nu_{e} appearance candidates to probe for exotic neutrino oscillation phenomena. Here we consider a 3+1 sterile neutrino model, where νμ→νe \nu_{\mu}\rightarrow\nu_{e} oscillation could be further mediated by the presence of a sterile neutrino. Updated limits for sin22θμe \sin^{2}2\theta_{\mu e} at values of Δm241<1 \Delta m^2_{41} < 1 eV2 ^{2} using a larger dataset are presented, and the results of this analysis are compared to those of LSND and MiniBooNE.
