Each year roughly 900 transfer students take advantage of the academic excellence at Midwestern State University. As most classes have fewer than 30 students, professors are able to dedicate their time and attention to each student’s needs. We are extremely proud of our 209 full-time faculty members whose research provides meaningful contributions to their respective fields of study.
We have a wide variety of strong academic programs here at MSU Texas. We can help you turn your dreams of a college education into a reality!

Transfer Credit Policies and Grades
Transfer Credit Policy
Transfer Grades
Grades of D will be accepted in transfer from accredited institutions.
Evaluation of course credit earned at other institutions by MSU Admissions does not decree approval of the credit for use toward degree requirements. The academic dean of the college offering the program in which the student is enrolled has authority for determining which courses will be applied toward the student’s major or minor. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the individual program’s degree requirements. A student transferring a D in a course should check with the individual department to see if the course will be accepted to meet the degree requirement.
If the student does not present an overall C average on the courses accepted in transfer, he/she must make up the grade point deficiency on work attempted at Midwestern State University. For example, a student transferring a D in a course would have a grade point deficiency of three. The student must earn at least a B in a course at Midwestern to offset the D accepted in transfer.
