Ask most students and they’ll all agree, one of the most unique aspects of Southern Miss is how it feels like home. We want to pass on that feeling of acceptance and comfort to the families of each and every one of our students. While we encourage students to immerse themselves in campus life, we realize that parents are still a vital part of our students’ development as individuals. Parents are encouraged to get involved and help with the adjustment to college life, and can rest assured that their children are in a safe, friendly environment at Southern Miss.

Parents and Family can request more information through the Office of Admissions.

As a premier academic institution, Southern Miss offers a rich, rewarding academic experience to help our students prepare for success in the professional world.	Whether it’s tailgating at the Rock on gameday, getting in a workout at the Payne Center, or just unwinding at The Hub, there is something for everyone on campus.

Southern Miss is proud to offer various financial aid programs and scholarships in order to help meet the costs of higher education.
