Decatur, Illinois, United States
Millikin University is an American co-educational, comprehensive, private, four-year university with traditional undergraduate programs in arts and sciences, business, fine arts, and professional studies, as well as non-traditional, adult degree-completion programs (PACE) and graduate programs in business administration and nursing.

History

In 1901, Millikin University was founded by self-made businessman and philanthropist, James Millikin. Millikin, who started as a farmer and achieved success within the real estate and banking industries during the 19th century, sought to create an institution of higher learning that was open to all and that integrated the traditional liberal arts along with the practical arts of the professions.

Education

From Day One, Millikin’s theory-practice approach to education was unique. Today, Millikin takes this idea a step further with Performance Learning. Students in every area of study are able to participate in various classes, programs, projects, and performances that engage them in ways in which they’ll receive practical, hands-on experience that they can’t receive anywhere else.

Research

Researchers from Millikin University's Department of Biology have published an article in Biochemistry Research International, a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles in all areas of biochemistry.

Career

The Millikin University Career Center enhances the University mission by:

  • Cultivating a collaborative institutional career-focused culture that actively prepares students for professional success through the development of career readiness competencies.

Millikin University From a Student Perspective

When looking at small schools Millikin University is a pretty good option. With small class sizes, small but beautiful campus and a variety of specialty areas. Millikin does a few things really well but others at a mediocre level. Depending on your major, the level of hands on experience and expertise varies. Yet some programs are great with their technical and in-field opportunities. Overall Millikin will provide you with a good education with lots of opportunities available to graduate with a stand-out resume.
