Each year roughly 900 transfer students take advantage of the academic excellence at Midwestern State University. As most classes have fewer than 30 students, professors are able to dedicate their time and attention to each student’s needs. We are extremely proud of our 209 full-time faculty members whose research provides meaningful contributions to their respective fields of study.
We have a wide variety of strong academic programs here at MSU Texas. We can help you turn your dreams of a college education into a reality!
