OUR
MISSION
As a Christian liberal arts college, Milligan College
seeks to honor God by educating men and women
to be servant-leaders.
Milligan College offers programs of study leadingto undergraduate or graduate degrees. These programs
have as their objectives the following:
A Positive, Personal Christian Faith ThatJesus is Lord and Savior
The expression "Jesus is Lord and Savior" is to be understood in its historical, biblical significance. Jesus,
the Man of Nazareth, is God's Son, therefore, both Savior and Lord of Life. The attainment of positive,
personal Christian faith means the commitment of one's life to this Jesus.
A Commitmentto Follow the Teachings ofthe
Christian Scripture in One's Personal and Social Ethics
This commitment involves a recognition ofthe norms of human conduct that derive their sanction from the
Christian faith.
The Capacityto Recognize and Assume Responsibility in Society
The main functions of education are to arouse within the individual an awareness of indebtedness to one's
fellow human beings, to foster in each a desire to assume personal responsibility, and to prepare the
individual to fulfill his or her obligation to society.
The Knowledge, Meaning and Application ofSound Scholarship
The student is led to develop a respect and enthusiasm for sound scholarship and to seek it with diligence
and perseverance.
Preparation for Securing an Enriched Quality of Life for Self and Family
Courses of study and campus life are designed to develop the quality of aesthetic appreciation, to provide
a background in the liberal arts, and to lead to the selection of a field of interest which will provide
opportunities for a fulfilling life.
Participation in the Activities of a Healthy Lifestyle
This may be accomplished through intramural and intercollegiate sports, residence hall living, campus
fellowship and other student activities.
