Mississippi College

Overview of Mississippi College

---

If you look at Google Maps, you’ll see that your college is located almost right in the middle of Clinton. The city itself has stores and restaurants where you can buy what you need and, when you want to eat somewhere other than the student dining hall, restaurants where you can eat off campus.

Before you get to the college, you ‘ll need to sign up for campus housing; on campus housing will save you money on rent and utilities. The total student population is 5,103 and the student-faculty-ratio is 15 to 1, which is relatively low and will help you more easily get in touch with your professors if you need assistance with a class.

Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

When you hear about the costs associated with going to college, you may hear about the total price. This refers to all of the costs you’ll need to cover added together. This includes tuition (in- or out-of-state), room and board, books, lab fees or supplies, and other various costs. Altogether, you or your family are likely to owe around $35,312 for this total cost.

Even if you apply for and are eligible for financial aid, after it’s been applied, some outstanding fees are likely to remain. This is the average net price, which in a recent year was $18,040.

Families earning up to $30,000 pay around $14,491, families earning between $48,001 and $75,000 pay around $18,221, and families earning more than $110,001 pay around $19,891.

When you finish your freshman year of college, you may decide to return for your second year of schooling—this would make you a part of the retention rate. The retention rate is often seen as a way to measure how much students appreciate or approve of the classes they take and the school in general. At Mississippi College, the retention rate is 80%, which is higher than most.

The 4-year graduation rate is 45%, which is lower than the average (usually over 60). Students may require more time because they take classes part-time or because they have difficult class loads because the 6-year graduation rate is closer to average at 57%.

Two classes you need to take may conflict with one another—and one or both of them may not be offered every semester. This is something to speak to an adviser about, and they may recommend either evening classes or distance learning (online classes). If you can work these into your schedule, you shouldn’t have to stay in school for another semester or two just to take a class that you would otherwise have missed, or you can work if you need to earn money while you attend school.

The top five most popular degree programs offered are health professions and related programs; business, management, marketing, and related support services; parks, recreation, leisure, and fitness studies; education; and biological and biomedical sciences.
