Celebrating 200 years in 2026!

We’re proud to be Mississippi’s oldest institution of higher learning.

What’s in a name?

200 years since the first students stepped foot on its historic campus, Mississippi’s oldest institution of higher learning and the second oldest Baptist university in the nation has officially adopted a new name that more clearly reflects who we are and what we stand for as an institution.

Discover a Christian university with a proven track record of life-changing opportunities.

Whether you’re a freshman or a grad student, you’ll find a community that will challenge, encourage, and guide you. Here, you’ll discover the person God created you to be — both inside the classroom and out. Here, you rise.
