A word from director
Mike Basile



Dear Visitor,

As the director of the Institute for International Studies here at Murray State University, I want to welcome you to our website. I am truly impressed with the energy, diversity, and contributions of those students from over fifty countries who attend Murray State University.

This is a very special place where students, faculty, and staff come together to share their unique perspectives in the rural community of Murray, Kentucky - located in America's heartland.

Earn a valuable degree at Murray State, one of America's leading universities. U.S.News magazine ranks Murray among the nation's best public universities, calling MSU "A great university at a great price." The campus is one of the most beautiful you could hope to find and is located in a safe and friendly town, so you will feel right at home.
