- MDCC is one of the oldest of the fifteen community colleges in the Mississippi system. The beginning of the college can be traced back to 1926 when Sunflower Junior College was founded in connection with Sunflower Agricultural High School. The first freshman class enrolled in September 1926. The college was fully accredited as a two-year institution in April 1928 by the Accrediting Commission of the Senior Colleges of Mississippi. It was admitted to full membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in December 1930 and has held accreditation continuously since that time. To better reflect its mission, the name of the college was officially changed from Sunflower Junior College to Mississippi Delta Junior College in 1961 and then to Mississippi Delta Community College in 1989.
- MDCC is one of the most comprehensive community colleges in the State of Mississippi with a mission that is uniquely oriented to the challenges and opportunities of the Mississippi Delta region. The college offers outstanding programs in academic transfer, allied health, career, technical, workforce development, law enforcement training. The college also offers an excellent program of extracurricular activities including athletics, intramural sports, and student organizations. The administration, faculty, and staff are committed to the education and success of students who want to be a part of such a dynamic learning environment.
- The majority of the students attending MDCC come from the college's seven county service district made up of Bolivar, Humphreys, Issaquena, Leflore, Sharkey, Sunflower, and Washington counties. The college offers instruction at locations throughout the District so students have a unique opportunity to combine college and real-world education by allowing them to attend college while maintaining their employment.
