Undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees are available in a variety of disciplines. The schools 1,200-seat Bologna Performing Arts Center serves as a hub for the city's rich cultural life, offering theater, dance, symphonies and musical performances. Fielding Wright Art Center is a spacious gallery that exhibits contemporary art by regional, national and international artists. Two 2-year junior colleges are less than an hour away: Mississippi Delta Community College and Coahoma Community College. Cleveland's downtown shopping district has earned the nickname the Shopping Mecca of the Delta, featuring unique gift shops, fashionable clothing stores, even a day spa.

**Recreation:**

Hunting and fishing opportunities abound in Bolivar County. There are seven lakes for fishermen to try their luck with bream, crappie, bass and catfish. Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge is an important habitat for waterfowl and an excellent spot for bird watching and seasonal public hunting. There are two local golf courses, and the Great River Road State Park, 18 miles west of Cleveland on the Mississippi River, offers campgrounds, picnic areas and a lookout tower to view the Mississippi River. Cleveland's Park Commission maintains 12 local parks, including Bear Pen Park with a modern baseball complex.
