Representatives from Mississippi State University’s James Worth Bagley College of Engineering will be at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Jackson County Campus on November 6 for an information session.

The event, which will be held 12:20-1 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium, will include a question-and-answer session and more information about the engineering degrees that will be available at MGCCC beginning in fall 2015.

The agreement to offer engineering degrees at MGCCC was signed in August. The agreement outlines the collaboration to offer at least two engineering degree programs. The institutions will jointly recruit students, allowing them to complete their first two years at the community college and second two years through MSU, with engineering classes offered online and face to face at the new STEM Building located on the Jackson County Campus.

The information session is free, and the public is invited to attend.

For more information about the event, contact Dr. Carmen Walters at (228) 497-7700.
