Northwest Mississippi Community College is a public community college in Senatobia, Mississippi. It was founded in 1926. As of 2024, Northwest's enrollment is approximately 7,800 students. There are approximately 2,000 students on the Senatobia campus—1,300 of which reside in the college's residence halls. Approximately 750 students are enrolled at the DeSoto Center in Southaven, Mississippi, and nearly 400 are enrolled at the Lafayette-Yalobusha Center in Oxford, Mississippi. Nearly 1,200 Northwest students are dual-credit high school students earning college credit from Northwest while completing their diplomas at area high schools.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable two-year college — at just $7,665/year average net price and only $5,500 in median debt at graduation, you're unlikely to leave buried in loans. The tradeoff is that median earnings sit at $31,900 a decade out, which is modest, so this path makes the most financial sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer rather than a career endpoint on its own.
