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
Mississippi State University
Mississippi State University, founded in 1878 as the state's land-grant institution, has built one of the strongest agricultural and veterinary medicine programs in the Southeast, reflecting its founding mission serving the state's significant agricultural economy. The university's aerospace engineering program benefits from a close research partnership with NASA's Stennis Space Center, located within the state, and MSU's High Performance Computing Collaboratory has become a significant regional hub for supercomputing research across multiple applied science fields. MSU's business school and its forestry program have built solid regional reputations, and the university's continued strength in applied agricultural and engineering sciences reflects its land-grant founding mission even as the broader institution has grown into a comprehensive research university. The university's combination of strong agricultural and veterinary research, its NASA-connected aerospace engineering program, and its Bulldogs athletic tradition has made Mississippi State the clear complement to Ole Miss within the state's public university system.
