At Millikin, you’ll find a university that offers over 50 majors, minors, and pre-professional programs in our four colleges of Arts & Sciences, Business, Fine Arts, and Professional Studies. You’ll be able to perform your learning as you go and have a chance to play on an NCAA Division III athletic team or intramural team.
Today, Millikin takes this idea a step further by introducing “performance learning” – a unique approach to higher education that builds the confidence to succeed after graduation. Because of this approach, it is no surprise that Millikin students have a history of success after graduation. Last year, 97% of Millikin graduates gained employment or entry into graduate/professional school within six months of graduation.
