Mississippi Delta Community College School Description

During the 2006-2007 school year, MDCC celebrated 80 years of service to the Mississippi Delta. In 1926, Sunflower Junior College opened and enrolled the first college class on the Moorhead campus and began its rich history, tradition, and commitment to the development of our home region - the Mississippi Delta. From its beginning, preparing students for the future is something that MDCC has always done well. The mission of the school is uniquely oriented to offering outstanding programs, both curricular and extracurricular, at five locations to the citizens of the seven county service district and to meeting the challenges and opportunities presented in the region. Classes at MDCC are still small by standards today in higher education, which allows students to study in an environment where they are known by name instead of a number and where teachers offer individualized attention.

It is the philosophy of Mississippi Delta Community College to provide quality educational
experiences that include intellectual, academic, vocational, technical, social, cultural,
and recreational learning opportunities, at a nominal cost, to those who qualify for the courses
of study and programs offered.
