Mission Statement

Mission Statement

The College of Arts & Sciences is committed to promoting a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment enriched by the knowledge and skills of our faculty, staff, and students. Society marginalizes many groups, based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability status, socioeconomic standing, religion, and age.

Faculty, staff, and students across A&S bring both depth and scope to research, teaching, and service that address these inequities, approaching them from an interdisciplinary lens that helps us facilitate meaningful and sustainable change. The College strives to be inclusive of all groups, challenge systemic inequality, and promote policies and programs that celebrate diversity.

Mississippi State University does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, group affiliation, or veteran status.
