| The
University has a responsibility to provide education access to the people
of the region who desire educational opportunities. Extending the reach
of the University throughout the region by providing opportunities for
working professionals to pursue advanced degrees is a high priority. A
number of graduate degree programs are made available through our network
of regional campuses and through various distance learning methodologies.
The Center for Continuing Education and Academic Outreach is a member of
the Association for Continuing Higher Education (ACHE).
Distance Learning
For students
who cannot attend traditional classes either on-campus or at one of the
regional campuses, the University has developed an extensive program of
distance learning classes delivered through the Internet. Murray State
University utilized the Blackboard course management software to deliver
these courses and works with the Kentucky Virtual University to further
extend the outreach of the University through distance learning. Information
about distance learning opportunities can be found through the KYVU web-site,
www.kyvu.org or from Murray State as referenced to the right.
Economic Development
Continuing
Education/Academic Outreach coordinates regional development activities
through the new Regional Center for Emerging Technologies (RSET). The RSET
coordinates economic development activities and provides a window to the
university for business, industry, and governmental organizations. The
RSET is heavily involved in maximizing university resources to create technology-based
start-up businesses to aid economic development in the region. For more
information, call 270-762-4220.

service area of Murray State University encompasses 18 counties in far
west Kentucky. To extend the outreach of the University throughout the
service area, regional campuses have been established in Henderson, Hopkinsville,

well as other sites throughout the region. Information concerning programs
available at each site, admissions and registration procedures, and class
