Morehead State University (MSU) is a public, co-educational university located in Morehead, Kentucky, United States in the foothills of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Rowan County, midway between Lexington, Kentucky, and Huntington, West Virginia. The 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report named MSU one of the top 25 public universities in the South.[3] MSU has also become one of only four universities in the U.S. to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in space science.[4] Morehead State University was also the first in Kentucky to offer an online MBA program,[5] accredited by the AACSB.[6] The College of Business & Public Affairs also offers a Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS).[7] The school newspaper is The Trail Blazer. The school was founded in 1887 as Morehead Normal School, a church-supported teacher-training school. It was taken over by the state in 1922. The school's name changed as its mission broadened—to Morehead State Normal School and Teachers College in 1926, Morehead State Teachers College in 1930, Morehead State College in 1948 and Morehead State University in 1966.

Academics

Little Bell Tower on the Campus of Morehead State. The words around the tower read "Love," "Wisdom," "Justice," and "Service."

55,000 persons have received degrees from MSU. Nearly 80 degree programs are available on the two-year, four-year and graduate levels through four colleges (Caudill College of Humanities, College of Business and Public Affairs, College of Education, and College of Science and Technology). Two-thirds of the faculty hold doctoral degrees. MSU supports its missions of teaching, applied research and public service through an annual budget of more than $129 million. MSU has claimed the state's best computer-student ratio in its computer laboratories, as well as offering students a program to lease university owned laptops while enrolled. The campus is ranked among the safest in the nation. The university now offers a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.[8]

The Arts

The Morehead State University Arts and Humanities Council was established in 2003 to encourages dialogue and partnerships in the arts. Part of a larger initiative within the Caudill College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Council works to develop cultural opportunities both on campus and off. Morehead, long known for its patronage of the arts in Kentucky with such organizations as the Kentucky Folk Art Center and the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music, was the childhood home of philanthropist Lucille Caudill Little. Named after Lucille Little, MSU's Little Company is a touring troupe of students in the Theatre Department that performs plays and conducts workshops for up to 100 schools in the area each year.
