Resources for Parents & Family Resources for Guidance Counselors
I came on a tour my senior year of high school, and I could tell that MSU Texas was a tight-knit community. With this being a smaller school, I felt like it would be pretty easy to get involved compared to other campuses. I love the residence halls and the different options on campus.

What does "Test-Optional" mean and how does it affect me?
Are there benefits to submitting my test scores?
Test scores can be used for math and English course placement. They won't substitute for credit, but with some degree programs starting at a higher course level, they could end up saving you time and money.
Additionally, some scholarship opportunities use test scores to determine eligibility.
