From Mississippi College

We have a mission. You have a calling. Our mission at Mississippi College (Clinton, MS) is to provide an educational experienced marked by academic excellence and commitment to the cause of Christ.

Not only do we strive to transform our students intellectually, but we also aim to develop the whole person - socially, spiritually, emotionally - so that they can enter the world bolder, better, and wiser, ready to pursue and fulfill their calling.

As the oldest university and the largest private institution in the state, MC offers an array of academic programs for its students, including over 80 areas of undergraduate study. There is something for just about everyone at MC.

With over 70 chartered student organizations and 17 NCAA Division II athletic teams, there is never a shortage of activity to keep you engaged and energized. MC is large enough to afford you a variety of opportunities to satisfy your interests, passions and pursuits, but small enough that you will be more than just a number here.

For our 3,200 undergraduate students, higher education means more than getting a degree. It means finding a family away from home, having your Christian values reinforced in all areas of your life, and establishing an educational foundation upon which you will continue to build the rest of your life. For more information, visit www.mc.edu or call 601.925.3000.
