Murray State College, is a public, co-educational community college located in southeastern Oklahoma with the main campus located in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. The college is named in honor of former Oklahoma Governor William H. "Alfalfa Bill" Murray.
Murray State College also maintains a smaller campus in Ardmore, Oklahoma as one of four state higher education institutions that participate at the Ardmore Higher Education Center (the other three are Oklahoma State University, Southeastern State University, and East Central University).
Murray State College was established (under a different name and organizational structure) in accordance with a law passed by the first Oklahoma Legislature (approved May 20, 1908). Later, on March 17, 1924, the Oklahoma Legislature approved a measure to enable the institution to teach the first two years of higher educational instruction, and, thus, become a community college. Later, in 1972, the Oklahoma Legislature changed the name of the college to Murray State College.
Murray State College's mission statement is to provide "opportunities to maximize student learning and personal growth."
The college enrollment is approximately 1,600 students annually.
