The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL System), under the governance of its Board of Trustees, operates as a strong public university system with eight distinct, mission-driven universities, and enhances the quality of life of Mississippians by effectively meeting their diverse educational needs. Five-year Goals for the system have been developed in order for the Planning Principles to come to fruition. Successful accomplishment of these Goals will strengthen not only the educational and economic foundation in the state, but also the comprehensive societal well-being of the state, the region, the nation, and beyond. Strategies used to meet these system goals are set by the individual universities in order to ensure respect for the distinctive mission and scope of each institution. This profile contains a variety of financial and student data. It includes the FY 2018 appropriations, total operating budget, and the FY 2019 budget request. It also includes faculty salary comparisons, tuition and fee data, student financial aid awards, and enrollment and graduation rates.
