Veteran Students
As a military veteran, you’ve dedicated your life to your country. Morehead State University couldn’t provide the opportunities we do to countless students without your sacrifice and service.
The authentic MSU experience is the reason we continue to be highlighted among the very best regional universities in the South and we want you to have this experience along with the benefits you will receive as a student-veteran. MSU is nationally recognized as one of the top military- and veteran-friendly schools in the nation.
You’ll find faculty dedicated to your goals and what it takes to achieve them. You’ll have access to staff and services focused on your unique needs to help you make a smooth transition from military to civilian life. You’ll find exceptional academic programs that give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to succeed in your career upon graduation.
This is the MSU difference. It’s a commitment to you and your success and it starts when you enroll and continues throughout your life.
