JSU releases Education Achievement Council report card

(JACKSON, Miss.) — Jackson State University’s latest Education
Achievement Council report card on student enrollment, degrees awarded,
college readiness and other variables is now available to the public.

This week, the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of
Higher Learning announced that the report cards for all Mississippi
universities are posted online at http://www.mississippi.edu/eac/. The
2018-2019 institutional profile for JSU, in particular, can be viewed
here, and a copy of the report may be obtained from JSU University
Communications.

The report card reflects the progress JSU has made toward educational
goals for the university. It contains information on student enrollment,
degrees awarded, college readiness, student progress, research and other
university measurements. The documents also include university-specific
information, along with system-level data. Archived reports from previous
years also are available online.

In 2010, the Education Achievement Council was established by the
Mississippi Legislature to sustain attention to the state’s goal of
increasing the educational attainment and skill levels of the state’s
working-age population benchmark to the national average by 2025. Council
members are representatives of state government, public K-12 leaders,
business community leaders and public, private and proprietary higher
education officials.

JSU is a diverse, technologically advanced four-year university steeped in
history and committed to preparing its students to become global leaders.
It is also a top-20 HBCU, according to the U.S. News and World Report.
