MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Murray State College has been serving southern Oklahoma since 1908. When the school opened as an agricultural secondary school, enrollment was fewer than 100 students. Now with campuses in both Tishomingo and Ardmore, MSC enrolls close to 2300 students each fall and spring...and the College only continues to grow. You can walk around our campus and see construction and improvements in progress. In the 2014 year, we improved and upgraded several of our buildings including the Clyde Hall Classroom Building, Patton Hall, and John Fletcher Auditorium. A groundbreaking for the renovation of the Nursing/Allied Health building on homecoming kicked off an expansion that will add 32,000 square feet to that facility. The project will allow us to expand our current health-related applied science programs.

  • Cameron University Undergraduate Catalog 2009-2011
    2 PREFACE This catalog provides information about the academic programs of Cameron University. It also contains information concerning admissions, academic regulations and requirements, services available to C A M E R O N students, academic offerings and a list of the administrative officers and faculty of the University. While every effort has been made to make this catalog as complete and accurate as possible, changes may occur at any time in requirements, deadlines, fees, curricula and courses listed in this catalog. All such changes U N I V E R S I T Y are effective at such time as the proper institutional authorities determine and may apply not only to prospective students but also to those who are already enrolled in the University. This catalog should not be construed as a contract between Cameron and any person. The courses listed in a curriculum are required, but the display of a curriculum does not in any way indicate the length of time required for a student to finish degree requirements. Rather, this display is intended as a guide to indicate the preferred order for completion of degree requirements. Exceptions to certain requirements may be petitioned through proper academic channels. Because this catalog was prepared well in advance of its effective date, the course descriptions may differ in some instances from actual content taught in some courses, due to advancements in the discipline or decisions to change the scope of the course. Thus, the descriptions that follow are not provided in the nature of a contractual obligation. Some of the newer courses and changes in courses are included in this catalog pending their approval by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
