School Details
Milligan University blends community, faith and scholarship to create educated professionals with a sense of dedication to servant leadership. As a Christian liberal arts university, the school is non-denominational, but engages a culture of commitment to follow the teachings of Christian scriptures from personal, professional and social perspectives. Nestled in the northeast corner of Tennessee, the campus dates back to 1866 when it was founded as a private secondary school. It was quickly elevated to the collegiate level to serve the Appalachian community.
