About Jackson

Jackson's rich, thriving cultural community is the perfect setting for intellectual growth and, of course, FUN.

When you're ready for a study break, Jackson offers plenty of options. A city of over 425,000, Jackson embodies a unique blend of restaurants, shopping, museums and more. At our many music venues, you can hear the latest local and national bands or simply relax to some authentic down-home Blues.

Although we're a metropolitan city, the great outdoors is just minutes from campus. Lefleur's Bluff State Park has 500 acres of golfing, fishing, boating, and hiking. Other State Parks and recreation areas are within an hour's drive from the capital city. And if you're itching for a road trip, New Orleans, Memphis, and the Gulf Coast are just a few hours away.

Opening Hearts, Minds and Doors

Millsaps is proud to be a United Methodist College: the Methodists of Mississippi have been partners with the College since its beginning in 1890. When Major Millsaps challenged the church to match his $50,000 to found the College, Bishop Charles Galloway led the efforts to meet that challenge. The Methodist Church has continuously and faithfully supported the College by sending students, providing leadership, and offering scholarships funded each year by an apportionment.

"Millsaps is truly blessed by its ongoing relationship with the United Methodist Church."
- President Frances Lucas
