The College of Lifelong Learning has become
known as “the unit that takes the University to the
people" throughout the State of Mississippi, elsewhere
in the United States, and worldwide. Metro Learning Classroom
Sites are one approach to accomplishing the mission of the
College of Lifelong Learning. They are established in communities
where masses of people desire to access higher education and
training.
Learn Close to Home or Wherever
You Want
Metro Learning Classroom Sites are designed to meet the needs
of adult learners with emphasis on relevance, convenience,
and accessibility. By taking classes close to home, during
evenings and on weekends, busy adults can find the time they
need to maintain their current lifestyle and earn a degree.
The centers provide a wide range of services and information
related to admissions, financial aid, degree completion, graduate
studies, continuing education courses, and printed materials
on academic programs, services, and cultural events. By taking
classes online, adults can take classes at home, while traveling,
or at work – wherever they want.
Metro Learning Center Activities
Metro Learning Classroom Sites offer a wide variety of academic
and non-academic credit activities through the School of General
and Continuing Studies, Center for Adult and Continuing Education,
and the Continuing Education Learning Center. Academic courses
for credit are currently being offered in: interdisciplinary
degree studies, education, criminal justice, industrial technology,
social work, teacher certification, English as a Second Language
(ESL), and many others; but what you learn is not limited
to these areas. Workshop, certificate, and institute formats
allow you to pursue studies in any interest area upon request.
