| About this School |
| Milligan College is a Christian liberal arts college founded in 1866 located in Milligan College, Tennessee. The school has a student population of roughly 1000 students and is located just minutes from downtown Johnson City, Tennessee. It is affiliated with the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and the churches of Christ. The college offers bachelors and masters degrees in various fields of study.
The school began as an endeavor of the Rev. Wilson G. Barker and the Buffalo Creek Christian Church, a Disciples of Christ congregation located on Buffalo Creek in Carter County, Tennessee. While it began as a private secondary school known as the Buffalo Male and Female Institute, the institution was soon elevated to the collegiate level with the arrival of the Rev. Dr. Josephus Hopwood and his wife Sarah LaRue Hopwood. Hopwood, a Disciples of Christ minister and educator, came to the school with the understanding that it would become a liberal arts college to train leaders for the Disciples churches and the communities of Appalachia. The name was changed to Milligan College in 1885 in honor of Dr. Robert Milligan, a professor of Biblical Studies at the College of the Bible of Transylvania University/Kentucky University (now Lexington Theological Seminary. Hopwood continued to serve the school as president until 1903 when he left to found Virginia Christian College (now Lynchburg College) in Lynchburg, Virginia. He returned for an interim presidency in 1915.
The Rev. Dr. Henry Derthick's presidency is perhaps the most defining administration in the history of the college. He served from 1917 to 1940 and during this tenure the college grew and gained a reputation for excellence in the region. Derthick succeeded in bringing the college through the Great Depression.
In 1943, Milligan became the only college in the nation to completely turn its facilities over to the Naval traning programs. A Navy V-12 program utilized the college's campus from 1943 to 1945.
The school resumed its civilian education programs in 1945, though facing a significant financial crisis. The board of trustees called the Rev. Dr. Dean E. Walker, a Disciples of Christ minister and educator, then professor at the seminary of Butler University (now Christian Theological Seminary), to become the college's president. Walker's administration was marked by rapid growth, securing financial stability for the college, and the realization of regional acceditation for the college's academic programs through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Derthick left the presidency in 1968 to become the president of Emmanuel School of Religion, a graduate theological seminary loosely affiliated with the college.
Since the 1960s Milligan has grown in stature in the region and has become one of the premiere private, church-related liberal arts colleges in the South. The college's education programs are among its most popular majors and degrees. Business and communications programs are also among the top choices of students.
The Rev. Dr. Donald Jeanes, a Christian Church minister and educator, became the fourteenth president of the college in 1997. He continues to lead the school.
The college's motto, found on its seal, is "Age Deo Fide Et Amore," meaning "Go with God in faith and love."
