Pitzer, R. Jackson State University Previous Previous post: Paine College Next Next post: Gloster B. Current In after a division of graduate studies and a four-year liberal arts program were added, the school was reclassified as Jackson State College. On 14 May law enforcement officials, stationed on campus in the wake of recent protests, opened fire on students assembled on a nearby campus lawn.

A Jackson State student and a local high school student were killed, and twelve others were injured. No one was ever charged in the shootings.

The school now has more than eight thousand traditional and nontraditional undergraduate and graduate students who can choose from among more than thirty major programs of study in six schools—Business; Education and Human Development; Liberal Arts; Lifelong Learning; Science, Engineering, and Technology; Public Service.
