The Student Achievement Measure is supported by six sponsoring associations, working together to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress and completion as students move across institutions and state boundaries.

University of Mississippi

The University of Mississippi, known affectionately as Ole Miss, is the state's flagship university. Not only does Ole Miss have a long history of producing leaders in public service, academics and business, the university is the state's largest university and is ranked among the nation's fastest-growing institutions. The student body includes students from all 50 states and 86 countries. Its 15 academic divisions include a major medical school, nationally recognized schools of accountancy and pharmacy, and the Sally McDonnell Barksdale College, which is acclaimed for a blend of academic rigor, experiential learning and opportunities for community action. The Patterson School of Accountancy is ranked in the top 10 nationally for undergraduate, master's and doctoral education, and the university's online MBA program is recognized among the country's 10 best. UM is one of only a handful of institutions across the country that is home to two Language Flagship programs, (Arabic and Chinese) that allow students to immerse themselves in native culture. The University of Mississippi Medical Center is home to the Jackson Heart Study, the world's largest long-term study of cardiovascular risk factors in African-Americans, and to the world's best-selling medical physiology textbook, the Textbook of Medical Physiology, which has been translated into 18 languages. The university also has a Center for Intelligence and Security Studies to train the next generation of intelligence analysts, a multidisciplinary Center for Manufacturing Excellence and the Croft Institute for International Studies, which prepares graduates to compete and work in a global market. The Ole Miss campus has been recognized as one of the Southeastern Conference’s safest campuses and is universally recognized for its beauty and charm. It was named the nation's most beautiful in fall 2016 in the USA Today's Reader's Choice travel awards contest.
