Why you should attend?

We respectfully honor the Service of our Military Service Member and their Families where we place their needs at the forefront. The University of Southern Mississippi is a Military Order of the Purple Heart academic institution located near Air Force, Navy and Army National Guard installations. We are a partner with the Marine Corps Leadership-Scholar Program and established a Coast Guard Auxiliary University Program on our Coast Campus to accommodate student interests in all Military Services. We are surrounded by a caring military community focused on providing support to Military Students, in particular, Student-Veterans. We recently constructed a multi-million dollar full-service Center for Military Veterans, Service Members and Families where they can prosper.
