Millsaps College

Millsaps College (Jackson, MS)


Millsaps College is a private, liberal arts college situated on a 103-acre campus that is a quiet sanctuary within the urban bustle of Jackson, the state capital. Founded in 1890 by the United Methodist Church, the college is home to 985 students, 86 percent of whom live on campus.

Millsaps College still maintains its affiliation with the United Methodist church, but teaches a completely secular curriculum. Said curriculum is writing-intensive across the 33 majors—including an option to design a custom major—and 41 minors the college offers.

Millsaps students are required to compile a portfolio of written work by the end of their sophomore year, and graduation requires extensive written and oral exams. Currently, the school has an average class size of 15, and a student-to-faculty ratio of nine-to-one.

Millsaps College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
