Located on the MSU-Meridian Riley Campus, the School of Health Professions is home to the Master of Physician Assistant Studies and Healthcare Administration programs.

The Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning in May 2024 approved Mississippi State University’s proposal to establish the School of Health Professions in downtown Meridian.

The larger effort to create a thriving health professions campus is essential to growth in the region, said Interim Dean of Health Sciences Harold Jones.

“This is an integrative move that will provide an administrative structure for these programs and future planned programs that will significantly contribute to the number and quality of health care professionals in our state and region,” Jones said. “These are essential, meaningful programs that will have a profound impact on our state.”
