Positioning

A brand’s essence is the heart of why the brand exists and serves as the underpinning for everything the brand says and does.

Brand Vision - Who we aspire to be

Our vision is to be known as a university recognized for academic excellence and commitment to the cause of Christ.

Brand Essence 


Es~sence: “the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, that determines its character.”


The brand essence is not a tagline, advertising slogan, or description that changes with every communication. Rather, it is a clear and concise statement that articulates who we are and who we aspire to be as an institution. This is the foundation of the MC brand.

Mississippi College is about the joyful pursuit of Christ in every field of study, a university where people are lifted higher to reach their God-given potential.
