Bachelor in Chemistry (Bachelor's)

Milligan University is located in northeastern Tennessee, surrounded by views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and close to opportunities for outdoor recreation. The campus offers a residential college experience within a Christian community, where faith is part of academic study, campus ministries, and relationships among students. The university was named for its founder’s favorite teacher, reflecting the importance placed on faculty in the institution’s identity. Emmanuel Christian Seminary at Milligan has prepared men and women for ministry since 1965.

Academic choice spans more than 100 majors, minors, pre-professional degrees, and concentrations across the arts and humanities, Bible and ministry, business and technology, sciences and allied health, and social sciences and education. Undergraduate students complete a required core curriculum designed to provide a broad foundation for lifelong learning and further study. Graduate studies, professional licensure programs, certificates, and seminary education extend the range of pathways available.

Classes are structured around faculty contact, with a 9:1 student-faculty ratio and no graduate assistants teaching courses. The Office of Student Success provides academic and non-academic support. Milligan’s Christian formation emphasizes thinking and acting from a biblical perspective, experiential learning, and service. International students should expect a close-knit setting: one student from Norway described the transition as challenging but found the community’s hospitality helpful. Financial aid is available to students, and the university promotes affordable education.
