Mississippi State once again is celebrating an all-time high in enrollment with 23,150 students, surpassing 2021’s record of 23,086. Mississippi’s land-grant research university is the only public higher education institution in the Magnolia State to grow in overall numbers for nine of the last 10 years, increasing 11%.

Mississippi State will host an additional spring commencement ceremony this May to accommodate the growing number of graduates at its Starkville campus.
