Location:

While Pearl River Community College's primary mission is to serve the educational needs of South Mississippi, its influence extends through a robust alumni network and increasingly accessible online programs. The college actively contributes to regional economic development by providing a skilled workforce and partnering with local industries. Its focus is on significant local and state community impact rather than a 'global' operational presence in a corporate sense.
