Welcome to Murray State's Center for Continuing Education & Academic Outreach!

Would you like to earn college credit BEFORE you come to college?

Murray State University is offering an excellent opportunity for high school students to start earning credits toward a college degree without even coming to campus! MSU has developed three courses to be delivered via the Internet. This will offer a chance for students to have the time and place convenience needed to stay involved in the high school curriculum. These courses are offered in the fall and spring semesters only.

English 101 and World Civilizations and Cultures I and II will now be offered as online courses geared toward high school students. In order for students to be admitted, please do the following:

· Fill out an admissions application,

· Mail with the application fee and a letter of recommendation from your high school principal or guidance counselor stating their approval of your course enrollment (address is at top of application),

· Have your official ACT scores sent to MSU (You must have a composite ACT score of 22)

Once Murray State has received all of the above information, you should call Kristi Jackson in Admissions at 1-800-272-4MSU to be scheduled for your class.

We hope that you will consider taking advantage of this special opportunity, and we welcome you to Murray State! If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at 1-800-669-7654 or (270) 809-2159.

Sincerely,

Crystal Riley
