Make it Millikin.
Millikin University is home to Performance Learning, an approach to education that begins in the classroom, moves to the field with real-life work experiences, and culminates in a prestigious degree and lifelong connection with our community of support and professional resources.
Our student-run businesses, born from our innovative Center for Entrepreneurship; a nationally recognized School of Music; a robust athletics program; and opportunities for international study make ours a university of distinction.
What does this mean for you? At Millikin, we’re not just preparing you for graduation day. We’re helping to ready you for everything that comes afterward—careers, graduate school, life. It’s the reason why 99% of our students gain employment or admission to graduate school within six months of graduation.
When you Make it Millikin, you’ll find a diverse atmosphere full of enthusiastic faculty and staff dedicated to helping you achieve success inside and outside the classroom. We’re committed to encouraging and supporting students as they form human connections through our academic programs, athletics, Greek life, and student organizations. We would love to show you how we can prepare you for professional success, democratic citizenship in a global environment, and a personal life of meaning and value.
