About Jackson State University

Jackson State University is a public HBCU whose website serves prospective and current students, faculty, and staff.

The homepage reports a #26 HBCU ranking by U.S. News and World Report, a 15:1 student-to-faculty ratio, 90+ programs, and Carnegie-classified high research status with more than $25.8 million in funding each year. Student portals include PAWS, Canvas, and NET ID password reset.
