Programs and Courses
Southern Miss began the eLearning Initiative in the spring of 2009. This initiative is focused on developing additional fully online degree programs to improve student satisfaction, raise retention and graduation rates, and increase enrollment at Southern Miss. The project encompasses many aspects of launching a successful online program including marketing and outreach efforts, faculty training and support, course scheduling and development, upgrading program and business processes, and sustaining growth.
We currently have undergraduate programs, graduate programs, hybrid/executive format programs, certificate programs, and a supplemental endorsement. In addition to our online degree programs, we offer a wide variety of fully online classes.
With the University’s dedication, new online programs are being developed each semester, so if you don’t see something you are interested in now, please continue to visit our Web site for new offerings as they become available.
