About this School

History
Morehead State University was originally founded as a private college in 1887. It didn't become a public institution until 1922, and by 1966 it had reached university status. MSU has more than 9,000 students from 100 Kentucky counties, 42 states and 37 nations. They are enrolled on campus, at extended campus centers in Ashland, Jackson, Prestonsburg and West Liberty and several other locations in East Kentucky and across the globe through the World Wide Web. MSU has the state's best computer-student ratio in its computer laboratories and the campus is ranked among the safest in the nation. Nearly 50,000 persons have received degrees from MSU. Nearly 80 degree programs are available on the two-year, four-year and graduate levels through four colleges (Caudill College of Humanities, College of Business, College of Education, and College of Science and Technology) and the Institute for Regional Analysis and Public Policy. Two-thirds of the faculty hold doctoral degrees. MSU supports its missions of teaching, applied research and public service through an annual budget of more than $92 million. The University is located in Morehead, Kentucky in the foothills of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Rowan County, midway between Lexington, Kentucky and Huntington, West Virginia on Interstate 64. MSU is a charter member of the Ohio Valley Conference in NCAA Division I and sponsors 18 intercollegiate sports for men and women. The football Eagles compete in the Pioneer Football League of Division I-AA. The coed cheerleading squad has won 16 national championships and the all-woman squad has five national titles. The 2005 and 2006 editions of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report named MSU one of the top 25 public universities in the South.
  • MSU has also become one of only four universities in the U.S. to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in space science.
