Jackson State University
Jackson State University, founded in 1877, is one of the largest historically Black universities in the country, and its marching band, the Sonic Boom of the South, is one of the most celebrated HBCU marching bands in the nation, known for its high-energy performances at football games and national television appearances. The university's public health and social work programs have built strong regional reputations, and JSU's role as a significant institution during the civil rights movement, including the 1970 Jackson State killings in which police shot and killed two students during campus protests, remains an important and painful part of the university's institutional history. Jackson State's engineering and computer science programs have grown substantially in recent decades, reflecting broader HBCU investment in STEM fields, and the university's research funding has increased significantly as part of a wider push to strengthen research capacity across historically Black institutions nationally. The university's combination of its celebrated marching band tradition, its significant and painful civil rights-era history, and its position as one of the largest HBCUs in the country has made Jackson State one of the most institutionally significant historically Black universities in the American South.
VS
Millsaps College
Millsaps College, founded in 1890, is consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the South, and its small size, around 700 undergraduates, lets the college maintain unusually close faculty-student relationships relative to Mississippi's larger public universities. The college's Else School of Management offers one of the only accredited undergraduate business programs housed within a small liberal arts college in the state, giving Millsaps students access to genuine pre-professional business training alongside the broader liberal arts curriculum. Millsaps's Jackson, Mississippi campus gives students access to the state capital's business, legal, and government institutions, and the college's continued United Methodist Church affiliation shapes aspects of its institutional mission even as its student body includes students from a broad range of religious backgrounds. The college's combination of genuine academic selectivity, its accredited undergraduate business school, and its capital-city location has made Millsaps the leading small private liberal arts college in Mississippi, particularly for students seeking a smaller-scale alternative to the state's larger public flagships.
