Mississippi is known for its southern hospitality, sweet tea and magnolia trees, but it is also a state of many firsts in music, art and medicine.

The first ever heart, lung and kidney transplant was performed in this state by Mississippian Dr. James Hardy. Another Mississippi physician, Dr. Hannah Gay, was named to the TIME Magazine 100 list for her groundbreaking functional cure of an infant with HIV.

No other state in the country can claim as many honored, awarded and revered writers such as William Faulkner, John Grisham, Tennessee Williams, Natasha Trethewey, Willie Morris and Eudora Welty. Mississippi is the birthplace of the blues. From famous musicians like Elvis Presley, BB King and Faith Hill to talented actors and directors like Jim Henson, Morgan Freeman and Oprah Winfrey all claim Mississippi as their home. Legendary football heroes Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, Walter Payton and Archie Manning lived in and loved this state. Jackson, Mississippi hosts the prestigious International Ballet Competition (IBC) rotating between the prominent cities of Helsinki, Finland; Varna, Bulgaria; and Moscow, Russia.

Every part of Mississippi is a treasure and a new adventure waiting to be explored. Mississippi has everything from cultural activities, food and shopping to outdoor activities, music and entertainment.

Jackson is in the heart of Mississippi and is home to some of the state's best shopping, restaurants, museums, entertainment and events. The Fondren Arts District, Mississippi Museum of Art, Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, Mississippi Agricultural Museum, The Jackson Zoo, Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, Mississippi Opera Association, New Stage Theatre, Ballet Magnificat, Ballet Mississippi and Downtown Jackson are the perfect places to see what Jackson has to offer. The capital city is also in the perfect proximity for day trips to New Orleans and other cities.

Mississippi is brimming with places to see, things to do and events to attend and is at the forefront of thriving business, cultural diversity, historic significance and entertainment. Visit Mississippi, Believe It!for more information about our beautiful state.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

Belhaven University prepares students academically and spiritually to serve Christ Jesus in their careers, in human relationships, and in the world of ideas.

Belhaven University affirms the Lordship of Christ over all aspects of life, acknowledges the Bible as the foundational authority for the development of a personal worldview, and recognizes each individual's career as a calling from God. Each academic department is committed to high academic goals for its students and clarifies the implications of biblical truth for its discipline. Belhaven upholds these commitments in offering undergraduate and graduate programs, by conventional or technological delivery modes, and in local, national, and international venues. The University requires a liberal arts foundation in each undergraduate degree program, in order to best prepare students to contribute to a diverse, complex and fast-changing world.

By developing servant leaders who value integrity, compassion, and justice in all aspects of their lives, the University prepares people to serve, not to be served.
