About This School

Mississippi Delta Community College is a public institution located in Moorhead, Mississippi with approximately 1,490 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $2,276 per year. Typical graduates earn $27,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Mississippi Delta Community College is a public community college serving the Mississippi Delta region with its main campus in Moorhead, Mississippi. It also offers courses at locations in Greenville, Greenwood, and Indianola. Its mascot is the Trojan warrior. It has an enrollment of 3,491 students.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $2,276 per year after aid, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere, making it a genuinely smart choice for students who need to minimize debt while earning a degree or transferring to a four-year school. The concern is the median earnings figure of $27,200 a decade after enrollment, which is modest and suggests graduates may face real financial constraints — though that partly reflects the economic realities of the Mississippi Delta region rather than the college alone. Worth considering if your goal is a low-cost starting point, an associate degree for local workforce entry, or a transfer pathway, but have a clear plan for where you're headed next.
