If you are considering a career as a midwife, then you have probably considered taking some midwifery courses. Before you begin on your path to education, however, you should be aware of what type of education you will need to find yourself gainfully employed as a midwife in Mississippi.

In Mississippi, midwifery programs are available at the master level, which is the minimal education requirement for employment. First, you will complete your undergraduate studies in nursing, which should take about 4 years. Then, you will be eligible to enroll in a master degree program in nurse-midwifery. Of note, registration as a nurse is required before you can begin the midwife program. Beyond that, your master degree should take about 2 years to finish.
