MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� Along with several other recent rankings that Murray State University has received, Military Friendly庐 has awarded the University with the 2023-2024 Military Friendly庐 School designation. Institutions earning the Military Friendly庐 School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 1,800 schools participated in the 2023-2024 survey with 530 earning the designation.

"Murray State University鈥檚 recognition as a Military Friendly庐 School for 2023-2024 highlights a long tradition of supporting and listening to our military connected students. We strive to not only maintain but improve services and benefits provided to our military connected students,鈥� said Dr. Don Robertson, vice president of student affairs and enrollment management. 

Murray State offers resources for military connected students such as personalized advising, career planning and placement, flexible online and weekend schedules for those who serve on active duty, disability services, free counseling services, free limited student health services and a psychological center.

These efforts are highlighted by the University鈥檚 continued recognition as a Military Friendly庐 School for 2023-2024,鈥� said Robertson.
