The junior colleges were to provide a quality, accessible, and inexpensive education for the state's students. Students who could not afford senior colleges could attend the junior colleges and work to defray their expenses.

They have remained connected to their historical roots in the state’s agricultural high schools as they have brought high-quality, low-cost educational opportunities to hundreds of thousands of Mississippians.
