About Mississippi College

Mississippi College, or "MC" as our friends and alumni call us, is the oldest college in Mississippi and the second oldest Baptist college in the world. Founded in 1826, we boast a distinguished history replete with many outstanding alumni. U.S. News and World Report ranks MC in the "Top 10" category of best values, and we have been selected for 13 years to be on the Honor Roll of Character-Building Institutions of the Templeton Foundation.

Our mission remains constant as we seek to provide the best in academic programs, but we know our distinction does not rest only in our academic reputation. We are a university committed to Christian higher education in the pursuit of Christian truth and in service to the world.

We invite you to learn more about this fine institution of Christian higher education.

- Dr. Lee Royce, President
