About Missouri State University
MSU was founded on March 17, 1905, under the name of Fourth District Normal School, and like other normal schools from that period, the main purpose was to prepare teachers for the public school system. By 1985, MO State grew into the second largest public university in the state of Missouri, fact that started the numerous attempts to change the institution's name into Missouri State University, finally becoming part of the University of Missouri System in 2005.
The athletic teams from MSU are known as the Missouri State Bears, which participate in the Missouri Valley Conference, in all sports, except football, in which they compete in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, being best known for their achievements in football, basketball, volleyball and baseball.
