Arkansas State University Mid-South, formerly Mid-South Community College (MSCC), is a public community college in West Memphis, Arkansas. ASU Mid-South offers degree programs, technical courses, community educational offerings, and intercollegiate athletics.
History
Mid-South Community College was established in 1992. Its original purpose, before becoming a community college, was to provide vocational and technical education for the region. The college now offers associate degrees, technical certificates, certificates of proficiency, and college courses toward "core" requirements for four-year schools.
The college added intercollegiate athletics in 2010 with men's and women's basketball teams and adopted the Greyhounds mascot in recognition of a generous donation from Southland Park Gaming and Racing. Originally competing as a Division III member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), the Greyhounds moved to Division II in 2012 where they currently compete as a member of NJCAA Region 2.
On January 11, 2015, the MSCC and Arkansas State University System Board of Trustees announced that MSCC would join the Arkansas State University System as ASU Mid-South, and the merger became official on July 1, 2015.
Governance
ASU Mid-South is governed by the Arkansas State University System Board of Trustees. Locally, a seven-member Board of Visitors advises the Board of Trustees on issues related to the college.
