Jackson State enrollment sees major decline. Ole Miss and MSU grow

Enrollment in Mississippi's public university system remained essentially flat this fall, as gains at five universities helped offset significant losses at others, including a double-digit percentage decline at Jackson State University. Mississippi's eight public universities and the University of Mississippi Medical Center enrolled 81,771 students for fall 2026, down 190 students, or 0.2%, from 81,961 students a year ago. The largest enrollment drop occurred at Jackson State University, which lost 691 students, while the University of Mississippi posted the state's largest gain, adding 555, which includes Ole Miss and UMMC) students. The largest percentage of drop was at Mississippi Valley State University, which lost 13.2% or 300 students.

"Serving nearly 82,000 students this fall, our universities continue to provide higher education opportunities and prepare students for the workforce and life," said Dr. Al Rankins Jr., commissioner of higher education, in a statement."In this
