 "The able and enthusiastic faculty
has national rather than regional roots. Its members not only earned
their academic spurs in the nation's top universities but have also
taught in them. But they prefer to teach at Millsaps, a conviction
that comes through loud and clear in just about everything they say."
(Loren Pope's Colleges That Change Lives, 2006—07 Edition)
"Since
the student body is very small, so are the class sizes—allowing
faculty to deliver the kind of personalized attention larger
schools
can't . . .One interesting aspect of Millsaps academics is the
Faith & Work Initiative, a program that allows students to explore
work as a ‘vocation' that arises from a deep sense of personal
meaning. Designed to instill qualities of socially responsible
leadership,
the program challenges students to align their vocational goals
with those of the family, community, church, economic structures,
and the world . . . A small but popular study-abroad option offers
students the chance to study languages in Costa Rica and France,
and there are multi-country programs in Europe for students in
pre-business and sciences programs."

College is one of only two schools in Mississippi noted in this
guide. Great Colleges for the Real World ranks schools
based on convenience, quality and cost, aiming its targeted information
at career-minded college seekers. The guide specifically praises
Millsaps' adult learning programs, our community enrichment series,

 Millsaps students enjoy "a liberal
arts education at a school whose reputation has begun to extend
beyond the Southeast. One reason is surely Millsaps' lower cost,
compared with that of other selective colleges across the nation.
Then, too, the installation in 1989 of a campus chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa, the nation's oldest honor society, served to corroborate
all the good things students and administrators had been saying
for years. Millsaps is a college for high school graduates serious
about learning and having a full social life."
(Barron's Best Buys in College Education)
 "Students and faculty at Millsaps are committed to the concept of
academic integrity and take their responsibilities to each other
and to the Honor Code very seriously, fully embracing the philosophy
that an Honor Code is not simply a set of rules and procedures governing
academic conduct, but an opportunity to put personal responsibility
and integrity into action."
(The Templeton Foundation's Colleges That Encourage Character
Development, 1999)
