Description
If you live in Mississippi, you’ve probably heard of Hinds Community College, the largest community college in the state. Since 1917, the college has offered associate’s degrees and career training programs in the Raymond, Mississippi area and the surrounding state. Along with being the largest community college in Mississippi, Hinds has many students successfully transfer to four-year colleges. A large part of this has to do with the small class sizes, valued curriculum and helpful faculty who want to see each student succeed.
In addition to the many programs in the arts and sciences, Hinds offers Adult Basic Education and GED courses, as well as a Dropout Recovery Program that helps develop short-term occupational skills.
In order to register, you must see a counselor for advisement. Some students may be in need of financial assistance. Eligible students can take advantage of scholarships, grants and student loans.
