Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) was established in 1946 by the Mississippi Legislature to train teachers for rural and elementary schools and provide vocational training. The institution opened in 1950 and initially offered a Bachelor of Science degree. In 1964, its mission expanded to include liberal arts and science degrees, and it was renamed Mississippi Valley State College. In 1974, the institution achieved university status, becoming Mississippi Valley State University, reflecting its growing program offerings. MVSU has since expanded its graduate programs, offering master's degrees in various fields.
