Location: The EMCC West Point-Clay County Center officially opened on Aug. 21, 2007. The new
campus was especially meaningful to more than 1,600 workers who lost their jobs when
Sara Lee closed its plant in West Point. Many of those workers also took advantage
of workforce training classes at the Golden Triangle campus.
Partnership: The West Point location is collaboration among the city of West Point, Clay County
and East Mississippi Community College. It began with the signing of an interlocal
agreement providing for the renovation of three buildings donated by the Tennessee
Valley Authority. The physical work of building the campus was shared among the partners,
and additional funding came from the state of Mississippi.
Accreditation: EMCC is fully accredited by the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission
on Colleges. This means your academic classes will transfer to any senior college
of your choice with whom EMCC maintains an articulation agreement. EMCC is articulated
with all senior colleges in the state of Mississippi.
Classes: The West Point-Clay County Center is home to one of our workforce training centers.
The faculty and staff at EMCC helped prep me for the next level. If I ever had any
questions, they were always available. They want us to not just be better students
but to be better people as well.

I found the professors and administration personally interested in every individual.
With that atmosphere EMCC gave me the self confidence and insight to successfully
transition into a four year university.

I chose my field of study because I hope to run my own business. My teachers were
great. They were willing to meet with me after class if needed, and they never hesitated
to answer in-class questions as well.
