Its research activity includes the Center for Health Disparities Research and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, with more than $25.8 million in funding each year. Students and faculty develop new technologies and pursue work connected to health, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Learning extends into the lab, the community, and the wider world.

Students can choose from more than 90 programs across arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, and professional fields.

The university's colleges include Education and Human Development, Health Sciences, Liberal Arts, Science, Engineering and Technology, and Business. A 15:1 student-to-faculty ratio supports the academic setting.

Jackson State's campus life connects study with the traditions of a public HBCU.
