Founded in 1903 as Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Hinds Community College– Utica Campus has a very rich heritage and has evolved into a progressive college location with all the perks of a complete campus environment. It is the oldest of Hinds CC’s six locations.
Utica Junior College merged with Hinds Community College in 1982 but retains its Historically Black College & University (HBCU) designation and traditions. Over the years, HCC UC has remained committed to providing accessible and high-quality education to students from diverse backgrounds, empowering them to achieve their academic and professional
aspirations.
MN Associates, Inc. (MNA) has been proud to collaborate with HCC UC since 2016, working on various grants such as the US Department of Education TRIO programs, the USDE Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP), Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math and Science, and National Science Foundation ITEST and HBCU UP – Targeted Infusion Projects (TIP) and Implementation grants.

These grants have not only supported programmatic needs and changes but have also helped to secure new grants and funds for high schools and HCC UC students, furthering the college’s mission of providing outstanding educational opportunities.
Together, we are committed to building a brighter future for students and communities alike.
Over the years, we have crossed paths with so many committed people at UC and hope to do so in the coming years.
