Midwestern State University (MSU Texas) is a member of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) initiative. MSU Texas is an approved SARA institution, which means we adhere to established standards for offering post-secondary e-learning programs in all member states.
Most fully online programs are currently authorized in all states; however there may be restrictions in certain non-SARA states regarding internships and practicums.
Per federal law, students who have complaints against the school relating to fraud, false advertising, or other deceptive practices can report their complaints to MSU Texas
What does this mean for students?
State authorization refers to the processes institutions must follow to ensure all legislative requirements are met in all states where MSU Texas students are located. MSU Texas is a SARA approved institution and follows the required guidelines. For more information about SARA, please visit the SARA website.
