Morehead State University

Morehead State University is much more than you might expect. We are much more than a college . . . much more than an alma mater . . . much more engaged . . . much more personal . . . and much more than a regional partner.

MSU delivers a strong and affordable education for friendly, ambitious students who thrive in a student-focused learning environment defined by small class sizes and faculty committed to teaching and student success.

Academically, the University offers 76 undergraduate degree programs, including eight associate level degrees and 12 preprofessional programs in four colleges — Caudill College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, College of Business and Public Affairs, College of Education, and College of Science and Technology — and 20 academic departments. There are 71 graduate degree programs plus 40 graduate level non-degree programs designed especially for professional educators. The education specialist in five specialty areas also is offered. A master’s degree for physician assistants, social workers and a cooperative doctoral program, all with the University of Kentucky, are available on the MSU campus. A doctoral degree in education began in the fall of 2010.

Morehead State has been recognized for the seventh consecutive year as one of the top public universities in the South in the 2011 edition of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S.News & World Report. MSU is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools (SACS).

The University is located in the foothills of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Rowan County. The nearly 500-acre main campus within the city limits of Morehead includes more than 50 major structures with a total replacement value of more than $144 million. Beyond the city, the University’s real estate holdings include the 320-acre Derrickson Agricultural Complex and Eagle Trace, a par-72, 6,902-yard public golf course. The instructional plant includes 120 classrooms and 112 laboratories. Housing facilities include space for approximately 2,600 students in a variety of housing styles including traditional residence halls, suites and apartments.

Fiscally, the University currently operates on an annual budget of $129.2 million with about $41.7 million provided by the state and $52.7 million coming from tuition and fees. Additionally, grants and contracts from external sources for research, service and academic/student support projects generate more than $15 million each year.
