Hello!  

It is my privilege and pleasure to join a group of outstanding faculty and staff members in welcoming you to Mississippi State University-Meridian. I urge you to take a few moments to explore, within these pages, the many treasures that combine to make this a truly incredible university.

MSU-Meridian seeks to provide students an opportunity to complete top-quality undergraduate and graduate degrees, and in doing so, to fully prepare students for productive and rewarding lives.

We cannot possibly imagine the nature of our society forty or fifty years from now. But students with strong educational foundations will be prepared for success, whatever the shift of time and culture. At MSU-Meridian, you will find just that sort of foundation.

The function of education has always been to liberate the mind. It helps us fully experience the wonders of life, of our world, and of the universe. We warmly invite you to join us in this extraordinary and ongoing adventure!

My Best Wishes to you always,

Dr. Steven F. Brown
Dean and Associate Vice President, MSU-Meridian

Read what some of our campus leaders and professors say about certain facets of MSU-Meridian...

Arts and Sciences: The Division of Arts and Sciences plays an essential role in preparing our education graduates who make up the majority of our students by providing content courses in history, math, and English for example. The Division has a long-established Social Work program accredited by the Council for Social Work Education. In addition, A&S offers Psychology, Communications, and two Interdisciplinary degrees. The Bachelor of Science Interdisciplinary and General Liberal Arts degrees are particularly well suited to non-traditional students who are the bulk of our student population.

Business: The Division of Business has achieved much success in recent years due to the hard work of the faculty. Industry has reported many positive things about our graduates meeting their demands of being well prepared and capable business graduates. The faculty has had much success in maintaining their currency by publishing many peer reviewed articles in well respected journals. Students report that the addition of the new faculty has increased the challenges they face at every level and they feel confident they are ready and prepared for their future.
