Mountain State University focuses on meeting the educational needs of working adults. Our liberal admissions policies, accommodating credit transfer options and assessment of prior learning program allows students to maximize their previous successful education efforts in pursuit of the ultimate goal, a regionally accredited bachelors or masters degree.

Convienent Class Schedules
Students at Mountain State University generally attend class one night per week, allowing the time for outside study, family, work, and friends that adult students require.

Liberal Addmissions

Applications and new enrollments for most programs at MSU are accepted on a rolling basis. If you are applying to a program with limited enrollment or a cohort-based structure, your application may be placed on a waiting list or considered for the next year's class. We will notify you as quickly as possible of the status of your application—usually within two weeks.

Affordable Education
Our affordable tuition offers the best educational value in Southwest Pennsylvania. MSU offers a complete range of financial aid options and can even provide students with the wireless laptop computer, fully loaded with software that they will need to facilitate their assignments.

Lifelong Commitment
Finally, the career development office works with students as they graduate to assess their best possible future. Our career services department works with our alumni on a lifelong basis, so your investment in yourself with Mountain State continues to pay dividends years after you graduate.
