Millsaps College
Millsaps College provides an ideal atmosphere for learning, with one teacher for every 10 students and an average class size of 15. Associated with the United Methodist Church, and located on 100 beautiful acres in the heart of Mississippi’s capital city of Jackson – a progressive southern metropolitan city of nearly half a million population – Millsaps is home to nearly 1,100 students from 27 states and 24 countries. Our students have intellectual firepower, and know they will be taught by faculty who are as serious about learning as they are.
At the turn of the 19th century, the tiny hamlet of Pleasant Valley in southwest Mississippi was little more than a cluster of small farming families. Its first community building was a Methodist Church. The second was a school.
Reuben Webster Millsaps was born in Pleasant Valley on May 30, 1833, the second of nine children. His father, a schoolteacher turned farmer, taught him a lifelong love of learning and an unshakable respect for the value of education.
In those days, his home state presented no opportunity for higher education, so Reuben worked his way through college in Indiana and the Harvard University Law School. Twice wounded during the Civil War, Reuben attained the rank of Major, which he continued to wear throughout his remarkable life.
