Why MC Business?

Reputation

THE MC EXPERIENCE

Founded in 1946, the School of Business is MC’s largest school. The M.B.A. program is the largest and oldest program in the Jackson metro area, and the only MBA to offer formal concentrations in Finance and Accounting. The Master of Accountancy, M.Acc. program, was launched in the fall of 2018 as the first and only 100% online M.Acc. program in the State of Mississippi.  With more than 6,000 MBA and MAcc graduates, our track record is exceptional. Our alumni include CEOs, CFOs, and leading executives who make a positive impact on their communities.

While hundreds of students choose MC’s School of Business each year, you’ll still benefit from small class sizes and personal connections with faculty. Our faculty offers a wealth of professional experience from the business world and the highest academic preparation.

FACILITIES

Mississippi College’s School of Business is located in Self Hall, a state-of-the-art learning facility. Recently updated with a multi-million dollar renovation, Self Hall features building-wide wireless internet and up-to-the-minute stock tickers and financial market feeds displayed throughout the building. Classrooms offer stadium-style seating and the latest teaching technology. Labs are equipped with up-to-date computer technology and specialized software for business applications.


ACCREDITATION

Mississippi College’s School of Business holds the premier business school accreditation in the world–we are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). AACSB accreditation represents the highest achievement for a university that awards business degrees. Less than 5% of all the business schools in the world have earned this prestigious business accreditation.

AACSB accreditation provides assurances that:

  • our education delivery is guided by our mission
  • we deliver our programs with the highest qualified faculty
  • we instruct our courses using a highly relevant curriculum

Price

A private education can be expensive, but the value you receive can truly be worth the cost.  Mississippi College is one of the most affordable private universities in the country with a tuition, room and board cost of just $32,858 per year for undergraduates.  The average private university costs $42,224 per year, with the average public university cost around $21,447 per year (as reported by College Board).

Flexibility

Mississippi College's M.B.A. program was built with flexibility in mind. Our program consists of 30 semester hours that can be completed in a traditional classroom setting, fully online, or a combination of the two. Regardless of how you choose to attend, the courses and professors stay exactly the same. The degree can be completed in one to two years offering you the flexibility needed to earn an advanced degree without putting your career on hold.

Mississippi College's M.Acc. program is flexible and portable. It was designed for the working professional, can be completed in one to two years, and allows students the opportunity to earn a graduate degree from anywhere in the world as long as there is an Internet connection without putting careers or family life on hold. The MAcc is designed to prepare students for the CPA exam as well as for careers in accounting, auditing, tax and data analytics.


Faith

The heritage of the Christian faith at MC is the foundation of our emphasis on faith and business ethics in the School of Business. All in the MC Business family are committed to preparing students for lives of purpose and leadership, focused on the total development of students during their time as an undergraduate.

  • Our faculty has the highest academic preparation and each of them is devoted to Christian morals and ethical values.
  • As an undergraduate, students have a class dedicated to the intersection of Faith & Business.
  • Students are able to meet and network with well-known Christian business leaders through our active alumni network and through the activities of our Center for Faith & Business Ethics.

MC Business students have the opportunity to participate in Faith & Business Ethics week each year.
