MSUM Description

Minnesota State University at Morehead is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system, a sprawling educational network that includes nearly 55 campuses throughout the state. Minnesota State at Morehead is among the oldest of the MnSCU institutions, with a history spanning over 125 years.

MSUM prides itself on being one of the least expensive universities in the state. There are also several financial aid opportunities, including academic, athletic and talent scholarships. Among these is the Access Scholarship, which awards full tuition to multicultural students who have faced obstacles to reach higher education.

The university’s liberal arts-based academics include over 60 majors. More than 10 of these are pre-professional programs in diverse areas of the medical field, including Chiropractic, Optometry, Veterinary Science and Physical Therapy. The school features a low student-to-faculty ratio, with most classes under 30 students.

Distance learning is also available. MSUM’s online programs include:

  • Teaching and Learning with Technology
  • Operations Management
  • Nursing (RN to BSN)
  • Educational Leadership
  • Special Education Licensure

The Educational Leadership program leads to a master’s degree. Operations Management is a 2+2 bachelor’s degree program, and Teaching and Learning with Technology results in a certificate.
