Bachelor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (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.

The Electrical Engineering program at Milligan University prepares students to design and develop technologies that power modern life, blending technical training with a Christ-centered approach. It emphasizes innovation, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making, equipping graduates to excel professionally and lead with integrity. Students engage in hands-on learning through advanced labs and collaborative projects, bridging theory with real-world applications, and are prepared to serve as ethical leaders. The program integrates faith, technical skills, social responsibility, and a global vision, focusing on preparing servant-leaders for industry and community.

Focus areas include circuit design, signal processing, energy systems, digital communication and control systems, robotics, electromagnetics.

The program is a four-year, hands-on educational experience structured around a foundation in mathematics, physics, and introductory engineering concepts, integrated with a liberal arts curriculum. It includes coursework, labs, group projects, and progression gateways, with an option for a fifth year to complete a Co-Op Program.

Graduates are prepared for careers in technology, energy, telecommunications, and manufacturing, taking on roles like Electrical Engineer, Test Engineer, Control Systems Engineer, Field Engineer, Energy Systems Engineer, and Analog Design Engineer, or pursuing graduate studies. They are equipped to serve in positions of increasing professional responsibility with integrity and a focus on societal impact.

The program is designed for students who are dedicated, possess strong study habits and mental preparedness, and are interested in a Christ-centered education that combines technical skills with ethical leadership and a desire to serve.

First-year students apply to Milligan University and declare the major; transfer students require transcript evaluation. Recommended entry standards include a 3.5 high school GPA (3.0 for transfers), ACT 25 (SAT 1200) with a math score of 25 (SAT math 620), and specific high school math and science credits, though these are recommendations, not strict requirements.

On-campus, full-time, typically a four-year program with an optional fifth year for a Co-Op Program. For international students, tuition is above the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 70% of applicants.
