An Update from the Provost and Executive Vice President | March 2025Academic Matters

I hope you’ve all seen the recent news about Mississippi State University’s extraordinary economic impact. A comprehensive assessment by the National Strategic Planning and Analysis Research Center, known by most of us as NSPARC, found that MSU supports $3.9 billion in wages and more than 80,000 jobs statewide, which is one out of every 15 jobs in the state. We’re delivering a great return on the investment taxpayers make in higher education. You can take great pride in this success story and your contributions to it.
