Our mission statement focuses on the future, with an emphasis on preparing students for (1) professional success, (2) community citizenship in a global environment, and (3) a rich life of personal meaning and value. These three “prepares” are our university-wide learning goals.

As student-centered learning outcomes, these goals are expressed in the form of what students are intended to learn overall through their undergraduate experience at Millikin University:

(1) Millikin students will prepare for professional success.

(2) Millikin students will actively engage in the responsibilities of citizenship in their communities.

(3) Millikin students will discover and develop a personal life of meaning and value.

Note that the concept of “communities” is intended to be inclusive (local, global, professional, social) and embraces both the idea of active participation as a member of a community as well as the encounter and appropriate interaction with others from diverse communities.
