Academic Common Market

The PGA Golf Management Program at Mississippi State University is approved for the Academic Common Market (ACM) through the Southern Regional Education Board.

“The Academic Common Market allows a student to enroll in an undergraduate or graduate program at a university in another state without having to pay out-of-state tuition if that program of study is not offered by the public institutions in the student’s home state”.
