Spotlight on Millsaps College

Located in Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, Millsaps is one of the excellent private liberal arts colleges in the South. With an 11 to 1 student / faculty ratio and a strong emphasis on undergraduate writing, Millsaps has the attentive faculty and meaningful curriculum that have earned it a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and a place in Loren Pope's Colleges That Change Lives.

Private colleges aren't cheap, but don't rule out Millsaps even in these tough economic times. Nearly all Millsaps applicants receive some sort of financial assistance from the college. Other noteworthy features of the school include its affiliation with the Methodist Church, its strong business school, and its interesting study abroad opportunities in the Yucatan peninsula.
