Murray State University  (top)
The center of education for the Kentucky Lakes Area is Murray State University.  The nationally accredited, four-year school was founded in 1922 with just over 200 students as a teacher's college.  Now MSU offers five academic colleges of study including Business and Public Affairs; Education; Health Sciences and Human Services; Humanities and Fine Arts; and Science, Engineering and Technology—as well as the School of Agriculture for the 10,015 students enrolled.  MSU's main campus is situated on 236 beautiful acres in the heart of Murray.  MSU also has campuses in Paducah, Hopkinsville, Madisonville, and Fort Campbell. The institution also boasts national rankings in the highly-accredited US News and World Report:  America's Best Colleges.  See for yourself why MSU is one of the leading public universities in the south.
