Two of the better known colleges are Mississippi State, an engineering school, and the University of Mississippi or Ole Miss, a liberal arts school. Originally Mississippi State was opened to teach the farmers how to farm. The last several years have shown a great change. Mississippi has one of the highest ranking engineering schools in the country, and it even has a laboratory set up by the national government across the street. The public schools are beginning to venture into the world of technology.
