The consortium also includes members of the Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), such as Jackson State University and Mississippi Valley State University. Some member schools are religiously affiliated institutions. For example, Millsaps College is associated with the United Methodist Church and William Carey University receives support from the Mississippi Baptist Convention.
