Mississippi Public Colleges and Universities

Four-Year Public Colleges and Public Universities

Mississippi has seen many troubling times. As one of the last strongholds of segregation, it became a virtual battlefield for equality and civil liberty. The combined efforts of progressive politicians, dedicated activists, and concerned citizens culminated in a cultural and political renaissance whose effects are still felt throughout the state today. Students who attend one of the numerous Mississippi colleges can't help but feel the reverberations of political activism and social progress achieved just a few decades ago. Consequently, schools and universities in Mississippi provide the ideal milieu for inspiration and academic excellence.

The State of Mississippi  administers its own system of higher education, known as public colleges or universities, just like local governments and cities operate their own public K-12 school systems for local residents.

Financial support for Mississippi  public colleges and universities comes directly from the state government, from tax dollars and other revenue the state collects in lieu of private endowments. Mississippi  public colleges  and universities may also receive funds from the federal government and private sources, but in many cases the state is the primary source of support of public colleges.

In this southern state, education is part of a great tradition. Mississippi has entered the fore with their wealth of online schools and distance learning programs catering toward a diverse group of students. 50.4 percent of graduating college students completed their degrees in 2002. Consider your options; enroll in the program right for you.
