Our commitment to Christ-centered education has led Milligan to become a growing, well-respected liberal arts college. Because of our emphasis on scholarship, community, and faith, students come from all over the world to experience our distinctively different approach to higher education.

We offer more than 100 majors, minors, pre-professional degrees, and concentrations in a variety of fields, along with graduate and adult degree completion programs. The college consistently is named one of the Top 10 Best Regional Colleges in the South by U.S. News & World Report.

Our 1,200 students come from 35 states and 15 nations, so you’ll find students with similar interests as yourself, as well as those of different cultures and viewpoints.

Milligan's 235-acre picturesque campus is located in northeastern Tennessee in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, minutes from Elizabethton and Johnson City in the dynamic Tri-Cities region. Within minutes of campus you will find restaurants, shopping, theatre, and cultural activities, as well as plenty of outdoor adventures like hiking, skiing, and more.

Neighborhood

Nestled in the picturesque hills of East Tennessee, Milligan College's campus offers a peaceful, small-town setting with easy access to the charming downtown area of nearby Johnson City, where students can find diverse dining options, local shops, and entertainment venues. The surrounding neighborhood provides a safe, community-oriented environment ideal for studying and outdoor recreation, with hiking trails and natural attractions within a short drive. While the campus itself is somewhat removed from urban hustle, the location strikes a balance between a quiet academic setting and proximity to regional amenities that cater to student life.
