Division Mission
The purpose of the Division of Academic Affairs is to promote teaching, learning,
and scholarship for students and faculty. Academic Affairs fosters an innovative and
effective learning environment that respects the diversity of individual backgrounds,

a vibrant community of students and scholars and provides an outstanding range of
degree programs through the Business and Computer Information Systems Department,

These transfer programs parallel to Mississippi's public colleges and universities.
Through its Educational Outreach Office, the Division of Academic Affairs ensures
access to educational opportunities to over fifty percent of the student population
by offering evening, off-campus, and on-line classes.
Student support services are offered through the Library Learning Resource Center,
