REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingMilligan is one of the best academic schools I have found. Out of 7 classes, 6 out of the 7 were taught by people who have a doctorate in their respective field. The professors will do whatever necessary to make sure that you understand the material that's being given, have the necessary skills/material to study appropriately for the exams, and are adjusting to your life at Milligan.
