Top Five Reasons to Attend MSU

1. One of the South's top institutions
Morehead State University has been recognized for the fourth consecutive year as one of the top public universities in the South in the 2007 edition of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S.News & World Report.

2. A 117-year history of excellence
In 117 years, the sweep of history has carried Morehead State University and its predecessor institution, the Morehead Normal School, from one makeshift classroom to the high-tech world of Internet-based classes and a radio telescope/space tracking system which reaches from a campus ridgetop literally to the stars.

3. Choose your campus
Morehead State offers classes at regional campuses in Ashland, Jackson, Mount Sterling, Prestonsburg and West Liberty.

4. Personal attention
MSU has a student-to-faculy ratio of 19-1. This means that students and faculty work closer together in the classroom. Only 4 percent of MSU classes have 50 or more students.

5. You save money
We offer financial aid packages to meet your needs. Academic scholarships, discounted tuition waivers and student loans are available to qualifying students.
