ABOUT MSU

MSU will begin construction on a $30 million Student Recreation Center in 2009. Students voted a few years ago to fund the center through student fees.

The primary objectives of Morehead State University are meeting the educational needs of East Kentucky while striving to constantly improve the quality of our public service, economic development and applied research programs.

MSU is a charter member of the Ohio Valley Conference (NCAA Division I) and sponsors 17 sports for men and women. The football Eagles compete in the Pioneer Football League. Our cheerleading squads have won 26 national championships. Last year, men’s basketball, women’s soccer, and an individual rifle athlete made it to the NCAA tournament in their respective sports.

MSU is ranked among the top public institutions in the South

by U.S.News & World Report and offers Kentucky’s best computer-student ratio in its computer laboratories. MSU offers one of four space science degrees in the nation, and our graduates are accepted into professional programs like medical, dental, law, and veterinary schools at rates above state and national averages.

Fiscally, the University currently operates on an annual budget of $122.5 million with about $46.6 million provided by the state and $52.8 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.

Morehead State was the first institution in Kentucky to offer a complete online degree program, the Master of Business Administration (MBA). The University is opening a new Space Science Facility this summer, to support research and our space science academic program, in partnership with NASA.

Annual private donations to the University, through the MSU Foundation, Inc., average $3 million annually.

Construction is underway for the Center for Health, Education and Research, through a partnership with St. Claire Regional Medical Center and the University of Kentucky. The CHER facility will improve access to health care in the surrounding area, as well as in rural health care training and education.

Statistically, the University has awarded more than 55,000 degrees and currently has more than 1,100 full-time employees. Enrollment for fall 2008 was 9,100, with the student body representing 100 Kentucky counties, 45 states and 36 foreign countries. The University attracts more than 50,000 visitors annually and its economic impact, directly and indirectly, on the Morehead area is estimated at more than $80 million yearly.

MSU has recently built the Equine Health Education Center at the Derrickson Agricultural Complex. Built at a cost of $881,000, the facility was financed with a $550,000 grant from the Kentucky Equine Trust and additional funds from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and MSU. 4

TRANSFER STUDENTS

“Without MSU’s partnership with the University Center of the Mountains, the goal of furthering my education would have been indefinitely postponed. My academic experience through the regional campus has been rewarding. Meeting great friends and awesome instructors has been an additional blessing along the journey!”

TRANSFER FRAMEWORKS The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education has developed a 60-hour program of study for every baccalaureate major offered at participating institutions. This course structure allows for a block transfer of credit to any public, Bachelor’s degree program offered in Kentucky. The framework is compiled of 48 hours of general education coursework and 12 hours of major-specific coursework.

Students who complete this framework may transfer the credit to MSU, provided that program is available. The 60 hours will be accepted toward meeting degree requirements.

Check the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education’s Web site at www.cpe.ky.gov to see if your school has a transfer program for a course of study at MSU! 11

TRANSFER STUDENTS TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION The Office of Admissions will forward your official transcript to MSU’s Transfer Coordinator for evaluation of your courses.

The checksheet will provide you with a list of the requirements for your degree and your transfer courses will be substituted into the checksheet in place of an MSU course. Courses from selected schools are listed on an equivalency chart available at www.moreheadstate.edu/registrar.

If you do not find your school or a particular course listed on the equivalency chart, it does not necessarily mean that MSU will not accept it as transfer credit.

NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS “As a non-traditional student, returning to school was an intimidating endeavor. However, I have found the friendly faculty and small class sizes at MSU to be a perfect place for students who may have been out of the loop for a few years.

I have been exposed to a range of opportunities that I would have never been aware of had I not decided to continue my education here.”

Types of Financial Aid Federal financial aid includes grants, student employment and loans.

CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT

There is always something to do at MSU! Being an active member in various clubs and activities will maximize your experience and allow you to meet a variety of students, faculty and professionals.

Learning is the central reason students attend college. Learning comes not just from classroom instruction, but also from daily interactions between people. The difference between the two avenues of learning—classroom and personal exchange—is that classroom learning is given to you by professors in a formal class. Learning from personal interactions comes from your own experiences—you are your own professor outside the classroom and you learn from the relationships you create.

This guide will help make being your own professor easier—so you can find venues to meet others, be involved and experience the full range of learning college offers.

Just as students must invest time in their class work to be successful academically, they also must invest time in their interactions with others to be successful personally. Being involved, therefore, isn’t a trivial part of college—it is central to it, because it’s a form of learning.

It should never outweigh your classroom activity, rather complement it.

Both forms of learning—in class and out of class—are crucial to leaving Morehead State University as a fully educated person.
