Human Resourse Degrees

The admissions file is self-managed by the applicant. The applicant is responsible for collecting all of the pertinent documents necessary for the application, and sending a completed application packet to the Office of Graduate Admissions, Smyth Hall, Room 244. This self-managed system assures the applicant that upon submission of his/her application materials prior to the admission deadline, the admissions file is complete and the applicant will be considered for admission. The Admissions Committees review only completed admissions files following the admission deadline. (Please refer to deadlines for application materials.) An admissions decision will be communicated to the applicant by official letter from the Director of Graduate Admissions. An enrollment deposit is required for applicants admitted to a graduate program with the intent to enroll. The deposit is applied to the first semester’s tuition.

Any applicant for a program leading to teacher certification who holds a bachelor’s degree from a college or university outside the United States or Canada must have his/her transcript(s) evaluated by the New York State Bureau of Teacher Certification and Evaluation; completion of this process is considered a provision of admission because it may take six months to complete this process.

Each semester, nearly 6,000 students take advantage of the academic excellence at Midwestern State University. Most classes have fewer than 30 students enrolled, so professors can give you personal attention. We are proud of our 209 full-time faculty members who pursue research in their fields and become actively involved in the community.

Midwestern State University is located in Wichita Falls, Texas, midway between the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. With an approximate population of 107,000, Wichita Falls offers many activities and is home to several major industries and Sheppard Air Force Base.

Midwestern State University offers U.S. non-Texas residents a special tuition rate. Students who qualify will only pay $30 more per credit hour than a Texas resident.

Midwestern State University has a non-refundable, non-transferable application fee of $25.00 for new undergraduate students, $35.00 application fee for graduate students (this includes post-baccalaureate and teacher certification) and a $10.00 matriculation fee for returning students (this includes reactivations). MSU students, who fail to enroll in a fall or spring term, must reactivate their admission to the university. If the student sits out for twelve months or more, a new application must be submitted to verify Texas residency.
