Overview

What James Millikin envisioned when he founded Millikin University in 1901 was unique: a university that would embrace the "practical" side of learning along with the "literary and classical;" and, while affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, it would not be narrowly "sectarian" and would remain open to all.

Mission:

To Deliver on the Promise of Education

At Millikin, we prepare students for:

• Professional success;
• Democratic citizenship in a global environment;
• A personal life of meaning and value.
  

Millikin University has been accredited since 1914 by what is now the Higher Learning commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The most recent re-affirmation of that accreditation was in 2007.
