Home campus: East Mississippi Community College's original home is the Scooba campus, established
in 1927. The announcement of a district-wide tuition guarantee program in April 2009,
combined with a struggling economy, has translated into large enrollment increases
in recent years. The Scooba campus now serves more than 1,000 residential and commuter
students.
Accreditation: EMCC is fully accredited by the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission
on Colleges. This means your academic classes will transfer to any senior college
of your choice with whom EMCC maintains an articulation agreement. EMCC is articulated
with all senior colleges in the state of Mississippi.
Classes: The Scooba campus offers a full range of academic classes that can prepare students
for transfer to a four-year college or university. It also serves students interested
in career-technical programs ending in certificates or two-year associate’s degrees.
Career-technical programs are available at the Scooba campus: Funeral Services, Forestry,
Welding and Fabrication, Basic Electrical Lineworker, Ophthalmic Technology, Business
Technology and Health Care Assistant. The average class size at EMCC is about 20 students.
Workforce Services: EMCC’s Workforce Services team has expanded its offerings on the Scooba campus to
give students the skills they need to compete for jobs in a changing local economy.
Dual Enrollment: EMCC launched a district-wide pilot program in the 2011-12 school year to introduce
tuition-free online dual enrollment classes. Dual enrollment allows qualified students
to earn college credit before they graduate from high school.
The faculty and staff at EMCC helped prep me for the next level. If I ever had any
questions, they were always available. They want us to not just be better students
but to be better people as well.

I found the professors and administration personally interested in every individual.
With that atmosphere EMCC gave me the self confidence and insight to successfully
transition into a four year university.

I chose my field of study because I hope to run my own business. My teachers were
great. They were willing to meet with me after class if needed, and they never hesitated
to answer in-class questions as well.
