McMurry University strives to provide a campus environment to support the educational, spiritual and social growth of all the students we serve. With that responsibility comes a partnership with you, the parents, whose student is with us on this journey. We know how important your son's or daughter's education choice is.

While there are many aspects that support an enriching educational experience, we have provided some key areas that you, as a parent, may want to consider when determining the right college for your son or daughter.

McMurry University is built on a set of five core values and a mission to provide each student with a Christian liberal arts and professional education that prepares students for a fulfilling life of service and leadership. In addition to a quality, personalized approach to education in the classroom, McMurry provides your student with a variety of academic support services including our professionally staffed AEC (Academic Enrichment Center) where students find professional and peer tutoring, word processing, Internet access support, academic counseling, and study skills development.

Financial considerations are also at the forefront of the college decision. We encourage you to explore the wide range of scholarships, awards, grants, work programs and other avenues available in financing your student's education. You may use our financial aid calculator to learn more about the cost of a McMurry education, as well as the options available.

Campus safety and security are a high priority for your student and the entire campus community. As a close-knit community, security is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students enter the residence halls through proximity-coded cards, and only those students coded for each hall are allowed access. Our security staff provides services ranging from escorting students from buildings after dark to helping get keys out of a locked car.

We encourage you to explore our Career Services Center, where we help guide your student with programs in career counseling and testing, workshops in job searching, employment services and special programs attracting employers statewide. Personal counseling and health and disability services are also provided to McMurry students.
