Why you should attend?

We respectfully honor the Service of our Military Service Member and their Families where we place their needs at the forefront. The University of Southern Mississippi is a Military Order of the Purple Heart academic institution located near Active Duty Air Force, Navy and Army National Guard installations. We partner with the Marine Corps Leadership-Scholar Program and established a Coast Guard Auxiliary University Program on our Gulf Coast Campus to accommodate student interests in all Military Services. We are surrounded by a caring military community focused on providing all measures of support to Military Students, in particular Student-Veterans and their Families. In February 2022, we completed construction of a multi-million dollar campus Veteran Support Facility as part of our everlasting commitment to Military Students. We are a true "Military Caring" university.
