STARKVILLE, Miss. —
The College of Professional and Continuing Studies at Mississippi State University is proud to announce that the University Studies major has officially transitioned from the Provost’s Office to the college. This strategic move is set to enrich the resources and tailored support available to students pursuing this versatile and customizable degree.
The University Studies major is designed for students seeking a flexible educational path that aligns with their unique career goals and personal interests.

This transition represents MSU’s ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive and adaptable academic environment for all learners.
Associate Dean Owen expressed enthusiasm about this change, noting, “Integrating the University Studies major into our college aligns perfectly with our mission to provide comprehensive support and innovative learning options for students at different stages of their educational journey.”
