THE RIGHT FITBe prepared for a “This is it” feeling to wash over you when you visit the campus of

Midwestern State University! From the admissions staff, to professors and coaches, to the

MSU students who greet you when you visit, you’ll experience a warm Texas welcome.

With over 60 majors and several pre-professional programs to choose from, you’re sure to

find your academic interest as a student at MSU. For your best learning, challenge yourself

academically. We urge you to research opportunities with our professors and programs like

Honors, Study Abroad, and internships within your academic major. We offer academic

support in the form of academic advising, tutoring, and classes to help you build skills for

success. Traditions, like the torchlight parade, bonfire at homecoming, and the Burns Fantasy

of Lights in December will make your college experience memorable.

BEST VALUE FOR YOUR FUTURE

Our low student-to-faculty ration, combined with the annual cost of tuition and room and board,

make MSU one of the best values for learning in higher education. Midwestern State University was

recently named “One of the 10 least expensive public colleges for out-of-state students” by U.S. News

and World Report. As a public institution, our tuition is affordable. In addition, around 70% of our

students receive financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, student loans, and work-study

programs. We offer the cost of a public university but the feel of a private education with professors

who will know you well. Each year over 6,400 students from 26 states and 52 countries attend MSU.

That’s because MSU is the right size, the right place, and the right fit! Midwestern State University –

make it yours by setting up a visit today!

VISUALIZE THE POSSIBILITIES

THE REAL DEAL

You know how some college campuses feel like a “real” college while others don’t? Midwestern State is

the Real Deal. One reason is that so many students live on campus – and that’s because it’s so easy to feel

at home here. The heart of activity is the Clark Student Center, where you can eat delicious, healthy food

at the Mesquite Dining Hall or the Food Court. Visit the Barnes and Noble Bookstore, or pick up a

smoothie or mocha frappe at Java City.

NEW STANDARD IN CAMPUS LIVING

Close to the Student Center you’ll find Sundance Court, which offers apartments with living rooms,

kitchens, 2 bathrooms, and either 2 or 4 bedrooms. Spacious floor plans, walk-in closets, study lounges,

computer labs, and outdoor gas grills – it all takes campus living to a new standard! (There are other

fabulous living arrangements on campus as well, with Sunwatcher Village and Bridwell Courts.) Not far

from our residence facilities is the amazing Bruce and Graciela Redwine Student Wellness Center. With

over 50 cardio machines (each with its own television), plenty of free weights and weight machines, and

an indoor track, this facility is truly one of the best in the country. What else? An outdoor aquatics area,

state-of-the art group fitness rooms, and a fully equipped gymnasium.

PASSIONATE ABOUT TEACHING“Most of my professors were adamant about making the freshmen feel welcome,” recalls a

student majoring in business management about her first year at MSU. “They said, ‘Come talk

to me sometime,’ and that really helped with my transition.” That’s the rule, not the

exception, at MSU. Our professors are here because they love to teach. Whether you need

help with the latest concept in Calculus class or ideas for your art project, visit your

professors in their offices. See how accessible they truly are at MSU!

AMAZING SUPPORT

Advisors at the Academic Success Center guide incoming students in the selection of their

coursework. They also help “undecided” students explore career options and choose a major.

Eventually, students are assigned a faculty or staff advisor in their areas of study. Whether you are

working with an academic advisor or a professor, you will be mentored in the selection of your

courses and in your personal and professional development.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH AND EXCELLENCE

MSU professors are passionate about research, and they’ll encourage you to get involved and share

your results through opportunities like UGROW. (This program gives biology, chemistry, computer

science, engineering, geosciences, and math students the tools to be involved in interdisciplinary

research, with stipends and scholarships available.) The Honors Program offers

high-achieving students a challenging learning experience, from the Honors

Introductory Seminar, to Honors classes taught by outstanding faculty, to the Honors

Capstone Course. Students in this program enjoy opportunities for research projects,

field trips, professional conferences, scholarships, study abroad experiences, and

Honors housing.PRO

If you are not sure about a major, your

advisor will have plenty of strategies to

help you find the right area of study for

your skills and interests.

Most undergraduate

classes have fewer

than 30 students.

Full-time professors

teach 88 percent of

all classes. Many hold

the highest degree in

their field.

OUTSTANDING PREPARATIONReal-world experience is crucial to your career. MSU

professors and staff will help you connect with internships

and work-based learning for valuable hands-on experience.

Business students invest real money in a student managed

investment fund with Bloomberg terminals in

the STAR (Security Trading and Research) Lab.

Get communications experience writing for the

MSU newspaper or anchoring our TV newscast.

Nursing majors work in hospitals, education

students teach in local schools, and study

abroad programs provide valuable cultural and

educational experiences.

THE LIBERAL ARTS ADVANTAGE

Your liberal arts foundation at MSU keeps you flexible and increases your

appetite for lifelong learning. Employers seek the qualities gained by studying

the liberal arts: great written and oral communication skills, enhanced higher

order thinking abilities, and an openness to challenge and

diversity. These skills are transferable from one career to

another, which is so important in today and tomorrow’s

ever-changing global economy. An education at MSU in the time-honored

tradition of the liberal arts and sciences is the best preparation for a

meaningful life and professional career. Step into your future with

confidence when you hold a degree from Midwestern State!

You will want to get to know the Career

Management Center staff. They’ll help you

write a resume, look for internships, and

prepare for a career after graduation.

Projects emphasizing

team work and

problem-solving are

encountered in many

MSU programs such

as engineering.

TEXAS-STYLE LIVINGLocated 15 miles from the Red River marking the Texas-Oklahoma border, Wichita Falls is the

county seat of Wichita County and is considered the population center of North Texas.

Wichita Falls is a perfect size for a city – 105,000 people who know how to live right, with

old-fashioned barbeques and outdoor music concerts. The city holds well-attended events

like the Hotter ‘n’ Hell Hundred and FallsFest, a city-wide festival held in September. The

Wichita Falls Museum of Art, located right on the campus of MSU, hosts Live @ the Lake, a

series of annual outdoor concerts.

MSU students enjoy mixing with this vibrant community. Have fun playing at a local Paintball

field. Play mini-golf and ride go-carts at The Plex. Watch Wildcats hockey games in a coliseum

seating 10,000 people. Enjoy disc golf courses and 40 miles of biking trails around the city –

including the trail around Sikes Lake, which happens to be right on our campus! River Bend

Nature Center holds 15 acres of trails, wetlands, and a butterfly and nature conservatory.

Check out the nearby Sikes Senter Mall for 80 specialty shops, restaurants, and movie

theatres. Castaway Cover Water Park has exciting water slides, concerts, and sand volleyball. Be sure to

enjoy the city’s very own professional symphony and ballet troupe.

INTERNSHIPS, JOBS, AND MORE!

Wichita Falls won’t let you down when it comes to internships and career opportunities. The city

is home to many manufacturing, professional, and retail businesses, as well as health care systems

and public schools. There are plenty of employers just waiting for you to knock on the door.

Alcoa/Howmet is a large area manufacturer, employing over 1,000 people. Sheppard Air Force Base,

which produces combat pilots for both USAF and NATO, is the largest employer in the area. The

base employs over 12,000 military and civilian personnel, including 5,000 students.

Quick – put on your jogging

gear, grab an apple at the

Food Court, run around Sikes

Lake, and you can still make

it to class on time!

Hotter ‘n’ Hell

Hundred is the largest

sanctioned U.S. bike

race with over 10,000

riders participating

each August.

Go Mustangs!

Take the challenge: visit all 37

parks throughout Wichita Falls

including Lucy Park, a 178-acre

sanctuary of cottonwoods,

pecans, and other native trees.

PL AYING TO WIN

If you want to be an athlete in an environment that holds the highest standards of

scholarship, competition, and personal growth, then NCAA Division II at MSU is the way

to go. Our talented athletes from across the nation compete against schools from Texas,

Oklahoma, and New Mexico in the Lone Star Conference, one of the top leagues in the

country in our division.

EXCELLENT FACILITIES, AWESOME FAN SUPPORT!

With seating for 14,500 fans, our Memorial Stadium is one of the finest football stadiums in Texas. The

D.L. Ligon Coliseum, site of all home basketball and volleyball events, seats 3,640. The MSU Soccer Field

seats 1,500 fans who watch our soccer teams play on one of the best natural grass fields in the

Southwest. A lighted, eight-court tennis facility and a new Mustangs Park for softball round out MSU’s

repertoire of fabulous athletic facilities. And talk about fans: our athletes enjoy whole-hearted support

from MSU students and the Wichita Falls community. Imagine maroon and gold tailgate parties, fun

contests, free giveaways, and fireworks. See the painted Mustang Maniacs leading the crowd in a cheer?

You can be confident that the education

you’ll earn at Midwestern State

University will be an outstanding

investment for your future.

• The Texas Legislature and our own

Board of Regents allows MSU to offer

a tuition rate for U.S. non-Texas

residents. These students pay the

Texas resident rate plus $30 per

semester credit hour.

• MSU is committed to providing a

quality education that is affordable,

and we’ll help you with the financial

aid options that are available to you.

The cost of attending MSU is very

competitive, and often lower, when

compared to other schools in Texas

and throughout the U.S.

• To receive financial aid you must be

accepted for admission to MSU, and

you must maintain satisfactory

academic progress. Grants, loans,

scholarships, and work-study will be

calculated to cover the difference

between the cost of attendance and

your expected family contribution.

• Submit the Free Application for Federal

Student Aid (FAFSA), available from

your high school guidance counselor,

the MSU Financial Aid Office, or online
