Whatever happened to MSU and MUW merging?

[57stratdawg]

I was told today that the IHL decided that MSU didn't need a nursing school. I guess right now isn't a great time for school expansion or whatever, but does anyone have more insight?

I thought it would be a good move for both if they merged.

however, the two schools will be working together. one scenario Keenum talked about was a knew "joint degree" program called culinology.. which is a mix between culinary arts from the W and food science program at MSU. At the time of graduation, the student decides which school he wants to be awarded a degree from. they're looking in to a similar situation in other programs as well.

sounds weird, but thats from Keenum at the Memphis alumni gathering a few months ago.

you go the first two years at State and finish at MUW. You get the nursing degree and b.s.

They have merged the administrative IT departments of both schools. I think MUW needed the upgrade and this was the cheapest way to handle it.
