What began in September 1922 as Wichita Falls Junior College has developed over the years into Midwestern State University. Growing from it first location of 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. In 1946, the college achieved senior status and was renamed again in 1950 to Midwestern University. Although the university became a state-supported institution in 1961, it was not until 1975 that the school was renamed to bear its final name, Midwestern State University.
Midwestern has become a state university whose campus of 254 acres and 51 buildings offers a wide variety of academic programs in liberal and fine arts, mathematics, sciences, business, and applied sciences.
