Millikin University is home to Performance Learning, an approach to education that begins in the classroom, moves to the field with real-life work experiences, and culminates in a prestigious degree and lifelong connection with our community of support and professional resources. 

Our student-run businesses, born from our innovative Center for Entrepreneurship; a nationally recognized School of Music; a robust athletics program; and opportunities for international study make ours a university of distinction.
