Why Millikin?
Challenging minds, changing lives
If you want to be challenged and changed by your college experience, Millikin is for you.
At Millikin, you’ll receive an education that is as active and individual as you are. With a student body of about 2,400, you’ll get one-on-one time with professors and be a part of small, intimate classes. You’ll also get countless hands-on experiences beginning freshman year: students do everything from student teach in Taiwan to participate moot court trials; they close $1 million deals for local companies, research human twin genes with professors, and win auditions before agents in New York City.
After four years at Millikin, you’ll not only find professional success, you’ll also find that you've been challenged and changed into the person you wanted to become.
