If you are interested in a field of study that isn't offered at a Mississippi public university, then the Academic Common Market (ACM) may be available to you.
ACM is a cooperative tuition-reduction agreement among 16 Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) states allowing residents of a participating state to pursue academic degree programs that are not available in their home state. The program, administered by SREB and coordinated by each individual state, allows a resident of a participating state to apply for a waiver of out-of-state tuition to attend a cooperating public institution of higher education in another participating state. The participation by a state and an institution is voluntary. Information on programs available to Mississippi residents through ACM is available here.
For information on admission to any of the programs, contact the out-of-state college or university offering the field of study directly. Once you are accepted into a program not available at a Mississippi public university, contact the Director of Student Services, Sandra Kelly, at 601.432.6355 to request an application packet or download one here.
