​​Christ-Centered Campus

The Milligan difference is about helping you reach your full potential in a place where Christ isn’t just talked about… He’s lived. In the lives of your roommates, classmates, professors, and others. And you can feel free to live out your faith here, too.

Academic Strength

That’s not to say our curriculum isn’t academically rigorous. It is. So much so that 85% of our graduates are either employed or pursuing further education within a year of graduation. At Milligan, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills you need to be an effective servant-leader wherever you land.

Spiritual Transformation

But that’s not all. Beyond building knowledge, Milligan curriculum is spiritually transformative. Our faculty guide students to use the lens of Scripture to think about every aspect of life, work, and the joys and challenges of our modern world. You’ll be equipped to have a greater impact as a result.

Christ-centered. Academically rigorous. Spiritually transformative.

That’s the Milligan difference in a nutshell.

It all happens in a thriving community, and you’ll fit right in. Spend a little time with us, and you’ll find Milligan is where you belong. 

Welcome to The Milligan Difference.
