For more than 100 years, Murray State University has had a rich heritage of academic quality coupled with student success. The University's history dates back to 1922 when Rainey T. Wells presented the case for Murray, Kentucky to be the home of one of the new state universities. With Murray State's origins stemming from a hard-earned deposit of $117,000 from more than 1,000 individuals, Wells' vision led to a new normal school that would later become Murray State University. Our mission at Murray State University places our highest priority on student learning and excellent teaching, blending the range of educational opportunities often found at research institutions with the nurturing student-teacher interactions usually found at smaller universities. Experiential learning, study abroad programs, and personal attention shown by faculty give over 9400 Murray State students the opportunity to succeed. Currently, 511 international students representing 50 different countries are enrolled in Murray State's undergraduate and graduate programs. Murray State University is a place for developing leaders in our community, the Commonwealth, the country, and the world.
