JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY HONORED FOR EXCEPTIONAL PROFESSORS AND HIGH HBCU RANKING
|
Posted By: Catalina Deossa on July 30, 2024 Jackson State University (JSU) has garnered significant recognition for its exceptional faculty, being ranked among the best in Mississippi by Niche, a leading platform that connects students and families with colleges and schools. This accolade highlights the university's outstanding educational quality and the dedication of its professors, marking a notable achievement for JSU. According to Niche’s 2024 Colleges with the Best Professors ranking, JSU stands out due to its professors' exemplary performance and commitment to student success. The rankings are derived from a comprehensive analysis of key metrics and student reviews, including the professor salary index, student-faculty ratio, and faculty diversity index, all based on data from the U.S. Department of Education. JSU Provost Dr. Denise Jones Gregory expressed pride in the faculty’s recognition, emphasizing their role in fostering a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment. She highlighted that the professors at JSU consistently uphold high standards of acumen and leadership, which significantly contributes to the students' professional and personal development. Caleab Pickens, the 79th President of JSU’s Student Government Association and a student in the College of Health Sciences, echoed this sentiment. He commended the faculty for their innovative teaching methods and their commitment to personalized learning. According to Pickens, the professors excel in creating an engaging and impactful higher education experience, which plays a crucial role in preparing students for their future careers. In addition to its recognition for having outstanding professors, JSU has also been ranked No. 6 in Niche’s Best HBCU Schools in America for 2024. This ranking reflects not only the academic rigor of the institution but also the exceptional student experiences it provides. Notably, this year’s rankings have introduced an Economic Mobility Index, which evaluates the advancement of low-income students, and have de-emphasized ACT/SAT scores in the college admissions process. JSU’s high rankings in both categories underscore its leadership role in higher education within Mississippi. These achievements affirm the university’s ongoing commitment to providing a transformative and enriching educational environment that supports student growth and success.
