Message from the Head of Campus

Dr. Cruse shakes hands with recent graduate in cap and gown at commencement ceremonies.

Thank you for your interest in MSU-Meridian. It is a great time to be a student here! Our enrollment continues to reach record levels as more people take advantage of the opportunity to stay local, pay less, and earn more at the state’s leading research university.

While the national economy currently presents challenges, there has never been a better time to prepare for the future. Our undergraduate and graduate programs provide opportunities for students to enhance their current knowledge base or retool for a completely different vocation.


We are all ready to assist you in reaching your goals. Don’t hesitate to reach out!


Terry Dale Cruse, Ed.D.
Associate Vice President and Head of Campus
