Millsaps College is a private liberal arts college in Jackson, Mississippi. It was founded in 1890 and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 55% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, and a 73% freshman retention rate suggests some students have second thoughts early on. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $19,500, and median earnings of $54,500 after 10 years offer a reasonable return — but that outcome only matters if you're in the half who graduate. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, close-knit liberal arts environment in Jackson and have a clear plan to stay engaged and finish strong.
