Tuesday Tour Day — Midwestern State University
Midwestern State University has been preparing students for successful careers since 1922. The campus, located in Wichita Falls, Texas and just two hours from Dallas-Fort Worth, is home to 6,000 students. MSU offers the individual attention of a private education but the affordability and vibrant energy of a public university. MSU is the only Texas university to be a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges.
Academics
Students chose from 43 undergraduate and 26 graduate degree programs including the first discipline-specific Master of Science Radiologic Science degree of its kind in the United States. Bachelor’s degree programs include accounting, business administration, communication, education, marketing, nursing, political science, science education and much more. More than 95 percent of classes are taught by professors, not graduate assistants, in classes which average fewer than 30 students each. With its low student-to-faculty ration of 17:1, students receive the kind of mentoring from professors and challenge from peers to lead to confidence in their skills.
Campus Life
MSU’s list of 100 student organizations has something for everyone – from a spirit group named the Maniacs to rugby to national Greek organizations to radiology club. When students are not attending an athletic event, they are enjoying sponsored entertainment like nationally known speakers, comedians, hypnotists, and musicians. In December the campus hosts more than 200,000 visitors for the spectacular Fantasy of Lights holiday display, while the Wichita Falls Museum of Art at MSU attracts visitors year-round.
Athletics / Sports
MSU is an NCAA Division II member and competes in the Lone Star Conference. Men’s sports include football, soccer, basketball, golf and tennis, and women’s sports are soccer, golf, volleyball, basketball, tennis, softball and cross country/track. In addition, MSU teams have won national championships in the club sports of cycling and weightlifting.
