Raise YOOUURR World milligan

Few Christian liberal arts colleges have a longer or richer

tradition than Milligan College. For more than 140 years,

Milliganʼs unique mission has been to educate men and

women as Christian servant‑leaders, whatever their

profession. Through classes and activities, worship services

and Bible studies, lasting friendships and exceptional

faculty mentors, your experiences at Milligan will prepare

you to change lives and shape culture through the vocation

God calls you to pursue.

Raise YOOUURR World.LEARNMilligan’s goal is to educate students to

be thinking and acting Christians. You’ll

be challenged to think for yourself, to

analyze information and ideas, and to

explore the nature and meaning of the

world. You’ll be taught by professors who

are among the best in their fields, and

more importantly, they’re Christian

scholars who want to see you make a

real difference.

LEADWe believe real leadership is about

service. That’s why everything we do at

Milligan — in the classroom, dorm room,

or athletic field — is designed to

encourage you to reflect on how your

faith is related to your career choice

and what it means to be “called” to lives

of servant-leadership. We know you long

to use the unique ways God has created

you to make a real difference.

LIVEYou’ll find the Milligan community to be

genuine and real. We’re not perfect, but

we’re a real place, with real people, all

learning and serving a real God. You’ll

find amazing and supportive friends and

faculty. And with more than 40 campus

clubs and 80 percent of our students

living on campus, there’s always

something exciting going on.

LIBERAL ARTSAt Milligan, students explore how different subjects such as humanities and

sciences relate to each other. The term “liberal arts” means that students are

educated broadly about the historical, philosophical, and literary basis of our

modern society. At Milligan, a unique interdisciplinary Humanities Program lays a

common foundation for learning. “Liberal arts” is also a way ofdescribing an education that prepares students to think,to inquire about the nature and meaning of the world, andto analyze information and ideas. Students also can go beyond

geographical and cultural boundaries through study abroad programs and many off-

campus learning opportunities. Many majors also require internships, which grant

college credit and work experience prior to graduation.

CHRIST‑CENTEREDThe Christian faith is intentionally shared and explored through the Milligan

curriculum. Our conviction is that the primary question, “What does it mean to

be human?” cannot be answered apart from the question, “Who is God?” We

encourage students to see God’s hand in all subjects — whether

accounting, history, or fine arts. This interplay between Christian commitment and

academic quality is central to Milligan’s identity and purpose.

YOUR FUTUREWhat you learn in college will help direct the course of your future. That’s why we

take academics seriously at Milligan. Our faculty don’t hesitate to ask challenging

and difficult questions or explore issues that can sometimes be tricky. We think it’s

important for tomorrow’s leaders to be individuals who can think for themselves,

analyze information and ideas, and explore the nature and meaning of the world.

These are the distinguishing characteristics of a liberal arts college that is

committed to a Christian worldview. How else can you trulyunderstand and explore what it means to be a Christianin today’s society?

“A vocation is a called life of service.”

WHATʼS IN A NAMESAKE?Faculty are so important at Milligan that the college has the rare distinction of being named

not for its founder or location, but for a teacher. Josephus Hopwood, founding president of

Milligan College, chose the name to honor one of his own professors,

Robert Milligan, who “modeled the virtues of Christian discipleship and intellectual formation.”

Professor Milligan taught his students that learning should be used to develop the potential of

Christian men and women to serve Christ and the world.

CHRISTIAN SCHOLARSOur faculty are among the best in their fields. More than 70 percent have

earned the highest degree in their field. While our faculty’s primaryfocus is teaching and mentoring, many are also involved in

academic research, publishing articles and books, serving in national

organizations, and consulting corporations and non-profits. But they don’t

just see themselves as professors who happen to teach at a Christian

college. They view themselves as Christians who have the opportunity to

serve Christ and the world as scholars and educators. They are respected

and caring Christian scholars who are committed to scholarship, excellence

in teaching, and the faith development of their students.

LIFELONG MENTORSFrom your first day at Milligan — and for the rest of your life — you’ll

experience the unique mentoring relationships ourfaculty have with students and alumni. They are passionate

about each student’s success both inside and outside the classroom. They

spend countless hours with students — hiking, having students in their

homes for meals, leading Bible studies and small groups, and conducting

devotions for athletic teams. They participate in chapel, support music and

arts events, cook a late-night breakfast for students during final exams,

sponsor student organizations, and try not to beat the students too badly in

the annual faculty-student softball game on Wonderful Wednesday. Most

importantly, they devote hours to talking and mentoring their students.12 | www.milligan.edu

CHRIST‑CENTEREDYou’ll soon discover what makes Milligan stand out from other

colleges — it is a place where Jesus Christ is exalted. Milligan was

founded with the idea that Christian faith should be applied in every

facet of our lives. Everything we do at Milligan — in the classroom,

dorm room, or athletic field — is designed to encourage you to

reflect on how your faith is related to your careerpath and what it means to be “called” to livesof service. The “Servant-Leader Experience” is a

comprehensive program that starts on day one, helping freshmen

discern their God-given gifts and equipping them to use those gifts

for ministry and service.

CHURCH AFFILIATIONMilligan has an active relationship with the independent Christian

Churches/Churches of Christ. Committed to the restoration of

New Testament Christianity and the unity of all believers, these

congregations are a dynamic and growing fellowship. Given this

commitment to Christian unity, students from various Christian

traditions find Milligan a welcoming community.

FAITH IN ACTIONMilligan wants to educate students to be thinking andacting Christians. Students participate in Spiritual

Formation Programming that helps nurture the Christian spirit,

character, and worldview. Opportunities include chapel services,

cross cultural events, devotional breakfasts, and FCA events. And

you’ll have plenty of opportunities to lead worship services, vespers,

and Bible studies. We believe that the Christian faith is about

serving others, so students are encouraged to put their faith in

action, hand-in-hand with faculty and alumni. It’s all about

becoming more aware of your culture and theworld in which you will live and work.

nations, so you'll find students with similar interestsas yourself, as well as those of different cultures,backgrounds, and views. You’ll find a warm Christian

community, allowing you to form friendships that will last a lifetime. You’ll

hear yourself saying what so many other students and alumni have said

about Milligan: “It feels like home.” There are concerts, theatre

productions, recitals, athletic events, art exhibits, and other community-

oriented activities. And with more than 40 student organizations, you can

RESIDENCE LIFEMore than 80 percent of our traditional students live on campus in one of

six residence halls or student apartments. This is where much of the

community life and social involvement on campus occurs. Each

Residence Hall has a professional staff to assist residents and

encourage community life and development.

STUDENT SATISFACTIONWe know today’s students have definite expectations about what they

want from their campus experience. Milligan students have been found

to be more satisfied with their college experienceand more engaged in campus life than students at similar

colleges, according to several national surveys.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYAs a Christian college, Milligan adopts basic moral and social

principles and expects students to serve Christ in an atmosphere of

trust, encouragement, and respect for one another. You’ll find a

community that values your character development as much as your

knowledge development.

BUFFALO TRADITIONS

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYBegun in 1969 as a day to ease the normal pressures

of spring fever, the tradition has continued for this

annual surprise “holiday.” Day classes are cancelled

one day each April and replaced by a variety of social

activities planned by Social Affairs.

TWIRP WEEKThis tradition goes back to the 1950s. The tables are

turned and the women are encouraged to ask the

men out, as “The Woman Is Required to Pay!”

ONE ACTS & FILM FESTIVALFine arts are a core part of the Milligan liberal arts

tradition. The festival is kicked off annually with a

campus-wide picnic. Student-directed one act plays

and films are shown each evening.

In Tennessee’s fair Eastern mountains...

PARDEE WATERSLIDE This tradition goes back to the old Pardee Hall, when

the “Pardee Rowdies” would create a fun and cooling

diversion for students on hot spring days. Now the

waterslide appears near Buffalo Creek for various

events throughout the year.

CREEKINGA definite “must” for couples who get engaged — or

friends just looking to have fun. Everyone ends up wet!

HOMECOMINGA time for the entire Milligan family — current

students, alums, faculty — to come together for a

weekend of reunions, fun activities and memories.

The annual Homecoming parade features floats from

student and alumni groups.

Milliganʼs origins go back to an academy founded in 1866 on the banks of Buffalo Creek.

The college has a richly storied past, full of people of deep conviction and sacrifice, all

committed to the mission of Christian education. We also like to have fun!

WISE INVESTMENTYou can’t measure the value of a college education. Choosing a Christiancollege is one of life’s most important decisions. It influences

who you become — your philosophy, values, intellectual and emotional preparedness

for careers, long-term friendships, and a lifetime commitment to serve. A Milligan

education is one of the wisest investments you’ll make. And we strive to assure it’s a

sound investment — both personally and professionally. Milligan will work with you

every step of the way to investigate all the options available for financing your

education.

Don’t shop by “sticker price.” Milligan is named one of the Best

Buys in the South among similar baccalaureate colleges by U.S. News & World

Report. Our cost is more than $5,000 below the national average for similar

private institutions, and about 96% of Milligan students receive some form of

merit-based and/or need-based financial assistance from state, federal, and

institutional sources. In most cases, the assistance is substantial.

Tuition only covers a portion of the true cost of education. The balance is

covered through a variety of programs, scholarships, and generous personal,

church, and corporate donations. We also have a payment plan that makes

budgeting easier for you and your family. See www.milligan.edu/SFS for details

and amounts.
