“The creation of V3 is evidence of the forward thinking of the college’s administration and shows the value that the college places on career/technical education,” said Cheek. “I believe that the opportunities provided to graduates through V3 will serve to validate and illuminate the quality of career/technical education in the state of Mississippi.”

V3 College has also signed agreements with Mississippi Delta Community College and East Mississippi Community College.

V3 College is the newest campus at MUW and is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) and Southern Association of College and Schools (SACS) through MUW. The online degree programs are geared towards working professionals, adult learners needing to acquire new skill sets or to update skill sets, and community college students seeking to complete their four-year degrees.

V3 College is now accepting applications. Classes begin in August.
