Located in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi, Millsaps College is a privately supported national liberal arts institution. Founded by members of the Methodist Church in 1890, Millsaps College continues to be affiliated with the United Methodist Church. A selective undergraduate institution, Millsaps has been consistently ranked as one of the \u201cbest values\u201d in higher education, garnering praise from names such as The Princeton Review, Kiplinger\u2019s Personal Finance Magazine<\/em>, the John Templeton Foundation, the Fiske Guide to Colleges, and more. The school\u2019s mission and purpose is to be “dedicated to academic excellence, open inquiry and free expression, the exploration of faith to inform vocation, and the innovative shaping of the social, economic, and cultural progress of our region.”<\/p>\n

<\/svg>Academic Programs<\/h4>Millsaps College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools<\/em> and has been so since 1912. The College offers over 30 majors (including an option for a Self-Designed Major) as well as more than 40 minors; in addition, master\u2019s degrees in the areas of Business Administration and Accountancy are offered through the Else School of Management, which is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business<\/em> (AACSB). A student-developed Honor Code has been followed since its inception in 1994, affirming Millsaps\u2019 commitment as an academic community to integrity and the pursuit of \u201cscholarly inquiry and intellectual growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of Millsaps\u2019 students are encouraged to study abroad and the College\u2019s faculty-led programs are \u201csecond-to-none\u201d. Of particular distinction is Millsaps\u2019 Kaxil Kiuic Biocultural Reserve on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula which hosts the only program of its kind in the nation. The 4,000-acre reserve contains rich and important archaeological sites which provide vital keys to understanding both ancient and modern Maya culture.<\/div>\n
