GAUTIER, Miss. — Mississippi State University is partnering with Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College to offer engineering degrees at the Jackson County Campus. The agreement allows students to choose between two degrees in Gautier, and the schools are still deciding between industrial, electrical, mechanical and civil engineering programs. “The quality of the degree programs offered at MGCCC will be identical to those we offer in Starkville,” MGCCC president Mark Keenum. Students will complete the first two years earning an associate’s degree from MGCCC and the last two years earning a bachelor’s degree from MSU. All classes will be at the Jackson County Campus’s STEM Building. (Source: Sun Herald, 08/13/14)
