What began in September of 1922 as Wichita Falls Junior College has developed over the years into Midwestern State University (MSU). Growing from its first location on the third floor of the high school at Eleventh and Broad streets, the college was moved to its current location in 1937 and was renamed Hardin Junior College.

Midwestern State University is organized into six colleges with 16 undergraduate programs offering 43 majors, 30 minors and nine graduate programs offering 24 majors and 16 minors.

MSU is the only university in Texas with membership in the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges and was the first public university in Texas to establish a core curriculum. The university is also a member of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
