Continuing Education

Community Enrichment Series

Since 1972, Millsaps College has offered to the Greater Jackson community a variety of opportunities through the Community Enrichment Series. These are non-credit courses which have no prerequisites and no examinations and cover a variety of special interest areas. Enrichment courses are available in the fall, winter and spring. The complete list and schedule for the Spring 2008 courses are listed below.

Millsaps College partners with TravelLearn Vacations which offers educational vacation packages.
