Mission

As a Christian liberal arts university, Milligan seeks to honor God by educating men and women to be servant‑leaders.

A Christ-Centered University

If you’re looking for a Christian liberal arts institution that encourages students to be thinking and acting Christians, you’ve found it. At Milligan, we believe the educational process is meant to provide students with a working knowledge of diverse subjects and viewpoints, and we encourage you to think through issues from a biblical worldview. We believe God has a unique plan for each of our lives — for our hearts as well as our minds. Together, we can form a new generation of Christian leaders who are intellectually and spiritually prepared to change lives and shape culture. At Milligan, your future of service starts today.
