Accessibility: EMCC’s Naval Air Station Meridian extension offers classes year-round. Students come
from both the base and the surrounding area. About 40 percent of the students are
active duty military; the rest are military dependants and civilian members of the
community.
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.
Outreach: EMCC wants NAS Meridian personnel to feel welcome in Lion Country. All active-duty
military may attend sporting events at the Scooba campus free of charge, simply by
presenting a valid military ID at the gate.

"Being a First Generation student was quite difficult to get used to. After a while
it became a light breeze due to my advisor being supportive and helping as I went
through the process. Additionally, being a first generation student at EMCC hasn't
been the easiest, but my load feels lighter due to the most supportive advising team
and staff here on the Mayhew Campus"
