nature of the college 5
Nature of the College
The Milligan College tradition is expressed in the motto "Christian
Education — the Hope of the World." The curriculum includes a study of the
Holy Scriptures as a requirement for the bachelor's degree. This requirement
derives from the belief that God is revealed in His only begotten Son, Jesus,
the Christ. This belief gives meaning to human life and is the only force of
sufficient moral strength to create educational ideals of the highest order and
to inspire the integrity to achieve them.
Milligan College has been coeducational from the beginning of its history.
This policy rests upon die conviction that the problems of the entire social
order are better solved when men and women share alike in basic knowledge.
It is a distinguishing characteristic of Milligan College that each course is
taught with an awareness of how it fits into a biblical worldview. Such teach-
ing is assured by the selection of a faculty in cordial sympathy with this view.
A primary objective is to include Christian understanding and practice in the
total of life's attitudes and activities.
Throughout its history Milligan College has maintained an active relationship
to a religious movement committed to the restoration of New Testament
Christianity. The Christian people participating in this movement consistendy
disclaim denominational status, and the faculty and trustees of the College
maintain an intelligent awareness of a commitment to this position. The
members of Milligan College feel that such a nondenominational position
permits them to examine all aspects of life, secular and religious, in the light
of the New Testament, unrestricted by human tradition. In this view of
Christian faith, all vocations, avocations, and associations permitting the exer-
cise of fellowship under the Lordship of Christ are expressions of good citi-
zenship under God, in state, in church, and in society. In the Milligan College
tradition students are confronted with a synthesis of learning. The College
regards this synthesis of learning as essential to the understanding of and
personal responsibility in the various relationships in life for the stewardship
of which all must give account before God and humanity.
It is a further significant characteristic that Milligan College believes this
objective obtainable through the presentation of the data of Christianity in
its original form, the New Testament. Accordingly, no denominational or
creedal tests are imposed upon any student in admission to membership in
Milligan College or in the attainment of any of its honors, awards, or degrees.
The liberal arts are defined at Milligan College as those studies and disciplines
through which the human spirit is freed and further endowed with moral
power. The study of these arts is thus essential to the attainment and mainte-
nance of a civilization of free people. Only those individuals who recognize
the dignity and sanctity of human life can hold the concept of freedom. The
possessor of that life, however, can enjoy the highest potential only through
the disciplines of sound learning. This learning gives direction and meaning
to life through time into eternity. A personality so equipped is the master of
skills and facts, is never dominated by them, and uses them for the service of
humanity and of God.
Thus, the purpose of liberal education is the development of persons to
whom may safely be entrusted the vast scientific and technical knowledge and
skill developed by research. Such a program includes more than the pursuit of
"secular" studies in a "Christian atmosphere." It contemplates the inter-pene-
tration of the three great bodies of learning: the realm of nature, the realm
of humanity, and the realm of divinity. The practical application of the
resultant synthesis in both vocational and leisure activities characterizes the
life of a truly educated person.
Another characteristic of Milligan College is the sense of obligation assumed
by the faculty. Applicants for admission to membership in Milligan College-
are considered in the light of this searching question: "What can we do for
this student?" Therefore, with regard to each applicant who possesses ade-
quate secondary education and expresses an acceptance of the approach
described above, the College addresses itself to this question: "Has Milligan
College sufficient facilities and understanding to realize the end product envi-
sioned?"
Membership in Milligan College consists of those who sustain a relationship
in one of the following categories: the Board of Trustees, the Board of
Advisors, the Administration, the Faculty, the Staff, the Student Body, and the
Alumni. This membership is a privilege conferred by the Institution and
involves reciprocal responsibilities and concerns. The College at its discretion
through established channels extends admission to membership in any one of
the divisions.
Admission to membership in Milligan College carries with it a pledge of
responsibility by students that they will subject themselves to the rigorous
discipline of the above program. Men and women who choose to decline this
responsibility forfeit the privilege of membership in the College.
Heritage
In the 1830s, freedom-loving people introduced the Restoration principles
into the religious life of East Tennessee. They established churches and
schools. Milligan College owes its beginnings to the school conducted in the
old Buffalo Church, which is now the Hopwood Memorial Church.
On December 10, 1866, Wilson G. Barker established the Buffalo Male and
Female Institute, a State of Tennessee chartered school. He constructed a
building, and instruction began the next year. In 1875, Josephus Hopwood,
a native of Kentucky, assumed the leadership of this academy.
In 1881 Hopwood announced both the elevation of the Institute to collegiate
rank and the new name, Milligan College. He chose this name to honor
Professor Robert Milligan of Kentucky University (Transylvania). President
Hopwood regarded Milligan as the embodiment of Christian scholarship and
Christian gentility.
President Hopwood sought to establish a four-fold program in the College.
He looked to the physical sciences as the source of the conquest of the
earth. He regarded history, philosophy, and the social studies as the source of
human self-knowledge and self-government. He thought of professional and
vocational education as a means of sustaining a free social order and of
reducing scientific knowledge to the service of humanity in material civiliza-
tion. He accepted a knowledge of revelation and the possession of Christian
faith as the necessary controls through which one could establish and main-
tain a culture in blending the first three. To this end he adopted the motto,
"Christian Education-the Hope of the World."
President Hopwood continued in the presidency until 1 903 when he left
Milligan to found a college in Lynchburg, Virginia. From 1903 to 1915,
Milligan had six presidents. In 1915 Dr. Hopwood, who had completed the
founding of the colleges in Virginia and Georgia since leaving Milligan in
1903, returned for a two-year interim presidency.
In 1917 Henry J. Derthick was inaugurated as the eighth president of
Milligan. During this period Milligan College served many young people from
the Southern Highlands. The campus was expanded to some sixty acres, and
the facilities of the College were increased. The Administration Building, now
called Derthick Hall, was rebuilt after a fire. Dr. Derthick succeeded in bring-
ing the College through the period of World War I and the Great
Depression, preserving the academic integrity and quality of the College.

6 nature of the college
Dean Charles E. Burns succeeded to the presidency in 1940, just prior to
the American entrance into the Second World War. In the crisis of that peri-
od, MiHigan offered its entire radliries to die United States Government.
From ]urr of 1943 to the spring of 1945 a Navy V-12 program -was conduct-
ed. MJJligan was the onfr college in the United States given over completely to

Ih e dvilian work of the College was resumed under the presidency of Virgil
Elliott in 1945. Two major problems confronted the College at this rime The
breaking of ties with alumni and friends during the Second World War proved
to be a serious handicap. No less difficult was the task of assisting a large
number of ex-GIs to effect a transition from military to civilian life.
Dr. Dean E. Walker came to the presidency in January 1950 from a iwenty-
five vear professorship at the Butler University School of Religion.
Recognizing the need of the small college to plav an increasingly large part in
the educational program of the country the College adopted a long-range
development program. Students were enlisted from a larger area, encompass-
ing most of me States and several foreign countries. During Dr. Walker's
administration the campus was expanded to more man 135 acres of land.
New buildings included the Student Union Building, Sutton Hall, Webb Hall,
(he RH. ^els:-_mer Memorial Library me Seeder Memorial Chapel, and Hart
Hall.
On November 1, 1960 Milligan received the Qualitv Improvement Award
administered bv the Association of American Colleges for the United States
Steel Foundation. On December 1, 1960, Milligan College was admitted into
membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
In Jane 1968. Dr. Jess W. Johnson, having served in the capacity of
Executive Vice-President for two years, was elevated to the presidencv of the
College on the retirement of President Dean E. Walker. The rumpus contin-
ued to develop under Dr. Johnson's leadership. The College constructed the
following buildings: The Facultv Office Building (1969), the Science Building
:;"1. and rireirevel^crEddhorise 1976).
On January 1, 1982, Marshall J. Leggett, the first alumnus to be chosen for
me position, becarr.r the d rrrteenth president of the College During his
tenure, the Colierr : ffered its fir;: toaster's decree, the Master of Education.
The College constructed the McMahan Student Cer.:;r 1 r~ and renovated
die :ld student union building as Paxson Communication Center. The College
renovated the upper level of Hardin Hall to house the Arnold Nursing
Science Center. Quiflen, Kegley and Williams Halls were built. During Dr.

July 1, 1997. Under his leadership, the College has continued its momentum.

College, the Student Government Association serves as the official repre-
sentative voice of Milligan College students and promotes academic, social,
and religious activities for the campus community.
The Student Government Association (SGA) consists of the following
elected members: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, the president
of each class, four other representatives from each class (two females and
two males). In addition to the elected positions, SGA seeks representation for
commuters, married students, residence halls, and international students. The
composition of these other representatives changes annually depending on
the needs of the student body.
The residence hall councils are organizations responsible for community life
in the residence halls.
Student Organizations:
Professional, Social, and Recreational

giously, academically, socially, and creatively. The following organizations were

student life and services 11
The cultivation of high ideals and good habits, together with their expression
in social poise and consideration for others, is a major concern. Individual
counsel and other friendly help are always available to each student. We speak
of "membership" in Milligan College rather than "attending" Milligan.
Federal Laws and Acts
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, is a federal
law which states (a) that a written institutional policy must be established and
(b) that a statement of adopted procedures governing the privacy rights of
students be made available. The laws provide that the institution will maintain
the confidentiality of student education records.
Milligan College accords all the rights under the law to students who are
declared independent. No one outside the institution shall have access to nor
will the institution disclose any information from students' education records
without the written consent of students except to personnel within the insti-
tution, to officials of other institutions in which students seek to enroll, to
persons or organizations providing students financial aid, to accrediting agen-
cies carrying out their accreditation function, to persons in compliance with a
judicial order, and to persons in an emergency in order to protect the health
or safety of students or others.
Within the Milligan College community only those members, individually or
collectively, acting in the students' educational interest are allowed access to
student education records.
At its discretion, the institution may provide directory information in accor-
dance with the provisions of the Act to include: student name, address, tele-
phone number, e-mail address, date and place of birth, major field of study,
dates of attendance, degrees, honors, and awards received, the most recent
previous educational agency or instirution attended by the student, participa-
tion in officially recognized activities and sports, grade level, enrollment sta-
tus, and weight and height of members of athletic teams. Students may with-
hold directory information by notifying the Registrar's Office in writing with-
in two weeks after the first day of class for the fall and spring terms. The
institution honors requests for non-disclosure for only one semester; there-
fore, authorization to withhold directory information must be filed each
semester in the Office of the Registrar.
Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act
Information relative to the Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act (Public
Law 101-542) is available in the Office of the Vice President for Student
Development. This information includes campus crime statistics and gradua-
tion rates by athletic participation, gender, and ethnicity.
In accordance with the Tennessee College and University Security Information Act of
1989, Milligan College has prepared a report containing campus security poli-
cies and procedures, data on campus crimes, and other related information. A
free copy of this report may be obtained by any student, employee, or appli-
cant for admission or employment from the Office of Student Development,
Milligan College, Milligan College, Tennessee 37682.
Health Services
Milligan College takes every reasonable precaution to prevent accidents and
illness. The services of a nurse are provided in a clinic on the campus to care
for minor ailments and any emergency. Students are expected to report at
once to the college nurse any accident or illness. When necessary, referral is
made to local physicians.
All students are required to maintain health insurance coverage on themselves
at their own expense. In most cases this can be done through their family or
job. However, the college does provide information on health insurance cov-
erage that can be purchased individually. This information can be obtained
through the Student Development office or from the campus nurse.
The College cannot assume financial liability for off-campus physician and
hospital services. Most families are protected today for medical and hospital
claims through special insurance programs. Premium payment is the responsi-
bility of the individual student. All students participating in intercollegiate
athletics are required to show coverage in an accident and hospitalization pro-
gram.
Mental and social health is also a concern of the College. Counselors are
available for some counseling in these areas. In addition the services of area
mental health facilities can be utilized. However, the College is not equipped
to provide long-term, in-depth psychotherapy or psychiatric care.
Residence Life
Since many campus activities are centered within the residence halls, the
College encourages all students to take advantage of this valuable experience;
therefore, Milligan College is primarily a residential college. All students living
off-campus must receive prior approval from the Student Development
Office. Maintenance or use of any separate quarters without prior approval
from the Student Development Office subjects the student to
suspension/dismissal.
The director in each hall helps create an atmosphere, which is most con-
ducive to the best community life. The residence hall director is assisted by
resident assistants who are part of the staff of the vice president for student
development.
Residence hall rooms are equipped with all necessary furniture. Students are
required to leave all school-provided furniture in their assigned rooms.
Students supply blankets, pillows, bedspreads, curtains, rugs, study lamps, and
accessories.
The College reserves the right to inspect residence hall rooms at all times and
may, if necessary, conduct a search at the direction of the vice president for
student development. The rooms are subject to spot checks by the residence
hall director who is required to approve the use and condition of each room.
Damage to the room or its furnishing will be assessed to the occupants of
the room who accept responsibility for its use and condition. Damage to
common areas will be assessed to all residents of that hall.
All residence halls and the dining hall are closed during college vacations.
Students will not be permitted to stay on campus during these periods with-
out permission from the Student Development Office.
Any student without a roommate will be charged the private room rate unless
no roommate is available.
Telephone, cable and Internet service is available in all residence hall rooms.
Each residence hall room has a network connection for each bed to provide
access from the students' own computers to the campus network. Students
must provide their own telephones and calling cards for long distance calls.
Married Student Housing
Milligan College has apartments available for married students. These units
are totally electric, including heating and air conditioning. All of the apart-
ments are unfurnished. Additional information may be obtained by contact-
ing the Student Development Office.

1 . Special students are those who are not admitted as degree-seeking stu-
dents but who demonstrate the potential to successfully complete some
college-level courses. The academic dean must grant special student sta-
tus at the beginning of each semester. Special students are not eligible
for institutional scholarships or state or federal financial aid. They may
not participate in intercollegiate athletics. At the end of each semester,
special students may apply for admission as degree-seeking students.
2. Transient students are those who are seeking a degree at another institu-
tion or are not enrolled at any institution but wish to enroll in selected
courses at Milligan College. Transient students must submit to the
Registrar's Office a completed special student application and an official

documents and determines whether or not the applicant may be admit-
ted as a transient student. Transient students are not eligible for institu-
tional scholarships or state or federal financial aid. They may not partici-
pate in intercollegiate athletics.
The Admissions Office will notify the applicant of the decision regard-
ing his or her admission, and any relevant conditions. Admission is sub-
ject to the successful completion of high school (or completion of cur-
rent college term). The student must provide final high school tran-
scripts showing proof of graduation (or final college transcript, if a
transfer student).
Upon admission to the College, the student must submit an enrollment
deposit. The enrollment deposit is non-refundable after May 1 . Upon
enrollment, the deposit will be applied to the student's account.

Monthly Tuition Payment Plan
Milligan College is pleased to offer a special payment plan for students who
desire to pay educational expenses in monthly installments. This is an inter-
est-free payment plan available through Tuition Pay/ Academic Management
Services (AMS). No student, other than those participating in the Academic
Management Services payment plan, will be permitted to attend classes
before paying the balance of their account in full.
The Academic Management Services plan permits families to spread their pay-
ments over a period of 7 to 10 months, with the last payment due near the
end of the spring semester (before graduation). The current cost of the plan
is $65 per j'ear which includes life insurance coverage. All new students
receive information about this plan after they have been accepted for admis-
sion. Information is also available through the Milligan College Student
Financial Services Office.
ADCP students can enroll in an eighteen-month payment plan. M.B.A. stu-
dents can enroll in a sixteen-month payment plan. The AMS application fee
for both programs is $85.
Additionally, students on the Tuition Pay/ AMS plan are fully expected to
maintain monthly payments as agreed. A $40 late payment fee will be charged
to accounts for delinquent payments. The College reserves the right to
require immediate payment in full of any student who fails to maintain their
Tuition Pay/ AMS payment schedule. If payment is not made as required by
the College, the student is subject to immediate dismissal.
The Tuition Pay/ AMS plan is designed for the convenience of students and
their parents. The College encourages students to set up their own plans
direcdy with Tuition Pay /AMS. The College reviews all Tuition Pay /AMS
plans to ensure that the monthly Tuition Pay/ AMS payments are for the
proper amount. The College reserves the right to make changes to any
Tuition Pay/ AMS plan to ensure that accounts will be paid off by the last
Tuition Pay/ AMS monthly payment. It should be understood that these plans
do not lessen the financial obligation of students. Individuals who abuse the
Tuition Pay/AMS payment plans will not be permitted to use them for future
academic years.
Forms of Payment
Students may pay their student account using cash, money orders, personal
checks, certified checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
As a convenience for our students, we now offer you the opportunity to
make your payment online. This option is available on our website at

Scholarship/Grant Policies, 2005-06
Milligan College
■ All unfunded academic scholarships and the Milligan College Grant are
available to full-time students only.
■ All unfunded academic scholarships and the Milligan College Grant are
renewable for up to eight semesters as long as the recipient reapplies
each year through the Student Financial Services Office and continues
to meet the criteria for the scholarship/grant. Students who continue
their education beyond the eight semesters will not be eligible for those
scholarships. Any exceptions must be made by petitioning the Appeal
Committee before completion of the eight semesters.
■ Scholarship recipients who leave Milligan College or begin attending on
a part-time basis for more than two consecutive semesters must reapply
for scholarships and will be treated as a new student.
■ Students receiving athletic scholarships are not eligible for the Alumni
and Friends Award, Transfer Scholarship, or Milligan College Grants.
These students may be eligible for the prestigious Honors Scholarships,
the Presidential Scholarship, and the Academic Dean's Scholarship.
■ Institutional scholarships and grants awarded by the College may not
exceed Milligan student account charges; under no circumstances will a
student receive a credit balance for institutional scholarships or grants.
■ Scholarship recipients who have failed to meet the minimum grade point
average requirements and consequently lose area or academic scholar-
ships may have their scholarship reinstated if the required minimum
grade point average is achieved the following semester. The scholarship
will then be reinstated for the next semester. However, it is the responsi-
bility of the student to notify the Student Financial Services Office so
that the grade point average can be verified with the Registrar's Office
and, if appropriate, reinstate the scholarship.
■ Admitted applicants to Milligan College who already hold a baccalaure-
ate degree may be considered for the merit-based transfer scholarship
according to their previous collegiate academic profile and the present
requirements for a transfer scholarship. Such students must be seeking a
second undergraduate degree as part of the traditional day program of
the college and be enrolled full-time. College- funded need based grants
are not available. (Policy as of December 2002)
Appeals Process for Renewal of
College Study Grant or Founders Scholarship
■ A student who is receiving awards from the appeal process may be con-
sidered for renewal in future years by re-applying.
■ These awards are made for one year; therefore, students who would like
to be considered for the award again must contact the Student Financial
Services Office and ask that their names be placed in the next Financial
Aid Review (appeals) meeting. The Appeals Committee will review each
student's need (from the FAFSA results) and/or academic performance
and make a decision as to whether or not to reinstate the award for
another year.
Policy of Transfer Credits Counting
toward Cumulative GPA
■ Students who entered Milligan College spring 2001 or later will not have
transfer grades applied to their cumulative GPA. Therefore, for scholar-
ship purposes, grades for transfer work (including summer courses taken
at other colleges) will not count towards the cumulative GPA. Students
who wish to improve their cumulative GPA over the summer in order to
have scholarships reinstated must take summer classes at Milligan
College.
■ Students who entered Milligan College before spring 2001 may count
transfer grades towards the cumulative GPA and also may take summer
courses at other colleges to improve their GPA.

Academic Policies
General Policies
1. The candidate for the bachelor's degree must have completed the gener-
al education requirements, a major, and electives to total a minimum of
128 hours of credit.
2. Students may graduate under the regulations prescribed in the Catalog
in effect at the time of their entrance into the College, provided these
requirements are met within six years; otherwise they are required to
meet current degree requirements. The six-year limitation is extended
for the length of time in military service for students who enter service
after enrolling at Milligan College.
3. Rising juniors are required to take the Academic Profile, a test covering
general knowledge. Graduating seniors are required to take an examination
or to complete a capstone experience or other evaluative experience specif-
ic to the major to demonstrate knowledge in dieir major field of study.
4. Students diagnosed as having a deficiency in math, reading, study skills,
and/or writing must enroll in the appropriate developmental studies
course(s) as a graduation requirement. Hours earned below the 100 level
will not count toward the 128-hour graduation requirement.
5. Some courses listed in the Catalog are not offered every year. Students
should consult with their advisers to plan their curriculum.
6. Students must take Bible survey (BIBL 123 and 124) within their first
two years of enrollment in Milligan College. Students should be
encouraged by their advisers to take it as early as possible, espe-
cially because Bible survey is a prerequisite for many upper division
Bible courses and BIBL 471 Christ and Culture.
7. Humanities 101 and 102 are required of all freshmen. Humanities 201
and 202 are required of all sophomores. Once a student enrolls in die
traditional undergraduate program at Milligan College, still needing
humanities courses as part of the core, those courses must be taken at
Milligan College. Should a student withdraw from any of these courses,
the student is nonetheless required to satisfactorily complete all humani-
ties coursework by the end of the junior year.
8. Psychology 100 is required of all freshmen during the first semester of
attendance.
9. ' The human performance and exercise science general education require-
ments should be satisfied in the freshman year.
10. Milligan College makes no provision for a system of allowed absences,
sometimes called "cuts" The student is expected to attend all sessions
of classes. Absence from any class session involves a loss in learning
opportunity for which there is no adequate compensation. The instruc-
tor's evaluation of the student's work is necessarily affected by absences.
Penalties for absences are stated in individual class syllabi.
11. All classes must meet during final exams week for an exam or another
significant educational activity. (Any proposed alternative means/meet-
ings for assessment, such as online exams, should be approved first by
the appropriate area chair and then by the Dean.) The general policy is
that students may not reschedule final exams; however, if a student has
three (3) exams scheduled on the same day, then he or she may request
permission to reschedule one at a later date. Any approval for exam
rescheduling will be by the agreement of the instructor and the dean.
The student should submit a written request for rescheduling an exam
to the dean with faculty endorsement attending the request.
12. Only the instructor may waive preequisites for courses. See the catalog
course description to determine if a course has prerequisites.
Advisers and Mentors
All freshmen entering Milligan College are assigned a faculty mentor who will
function as the academic adviser for that year. All other students will be
assigned an adviser, usually from within the discipline in which the student is
majoring. Milligan College requires regular meetings between students and
their academic mentors or advisers-three meetings per semester for freshmen,
and once per semester for all other students. At one of those meetings, the
adviser approves a student's schedule of classes for the following semester.
Failure to meet with academic advisers will result in an inability to pre-register
for classes.
Students are especially encouraged to consult with advisers on a regular basis.
While a student's satisfactory progress toward graduation is the responsibility
of the student, regular contact with one's adviser can help ensure timely
progress toward graduation.
Campus Communication
For official communication, including any communication from Milligan
offices or Milligan faculty to students, the e-mail address issued by Milligan
College will be the only e-mail address used. Notices sent by official Milligan
e-mail will be considered adequate and appropriate communication. It is
incumbent on students to check their official Milligan e-mail regularly.
Ceremony of Matriculation
After all admission requirements have been met, including orientation activi-
ties at the beginning of the year, the candidate for admission may participate
in the ceremony of matriculation.
The ceremony of matriculation occurs prior to the first week of the semes-
ter. At the conclusion of a general assembly, the candidates sign the matricu-
lation book and officially become members of the Milligan Community.
Chapel and Convocation
Each semester Milligan College sponsors a chapel and convocation series
consisting of programs of a broad range of interest for the intellectual and
spiritual growth of its students.
Attendance at these services is required of all full-time, undergraduate tradi-
tional students. Eight semesters of satisfactory chapel/convocation atten-
dance are required for traditional undergraduate students completing all
course work at Milligan College Students who do not attend the required
number of services are not eligible to return to Milligan College for the fol-
lowing semester.
Classification
Progress toward the baccalaureate degree is measured by tour ranks or class-
es, which are determined by the number of hours earned. These are fresh-
man; sophomore, 26 hours; junior, 58 hours; senior, 92 hours.
College Calendar
The Milligan College calendar of classes is organized on a semester basis.
The College also offers a summer session consisting of two 4-week terms or
one 8-week term. In addition to these regularly scheduled terms, students
may earn one, two or three semester hours of credit during January Term
and/or May Term. January Term is a one-week session just before the begin-
ning of the spring semester; May Term is the session between the spring
semester and the summer session. January and May Term courses shall count
as residence credit.

For further information or answers to questions, contact Information
Technology Help Desk by calling 423.461.8704 or emailing at
HelpDesk@Milligan.edu or visiting the Milligan College Information
Technology Web site at www.milligan.edu/it.
MCNet in the Residence Hall Rooms
Each residence hall room has a network connection for each bed to provide
access from the students' own computers to the campus network. The com-
puter must have an approved Ethernet network adapter card installed. These
cards can be purchased in the College Bookstore. Students are responsible for
installation of network adapters and protocols. The Information Technology
Department will furnish necessary information pertaining to network access.
For the recommended minimum computer configuration for connecting to
the network, call 423.461.8704 or visit the Milligan College Information
Technology Web site at: www.milligan.edu/it/.
Because of limited resources and staff, Milligan College has standardized on
Intel architecture and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Therefore,
Milligan College does not recommend that students connect Macintosh or
other non-Intel based computers to MCNet. However, students with
Macintosh or other non-Intel based computers are permitted to connect to
MCNet on the condition that no support is to be expected from the
Information Technology Department. The Information Technology
Department guarantees only a connection to the plug in the residence hall
room. Connecting a Macintosh or other non-Intel based computer limits the
student to only e-mail and Internet access. For further information or
answers to questions, contact the Information Technology Help Desk at
423.461.8704 or email HelpDesk@Milligan.edu.
Computer Labs
Five networked computer labs are located on campus. The Kegley Computer
Lab, which keeps regular library hours, is located on the lower level of the
P.H. Welshimer Memorial Library building and contains twenty-five comput-
ers. The Derthick Computer Lab is open some weekday evenings and has
twenty-five computers for student use. However, most computer classes are
held in the Derthick Computer lab, which limits its availability. A Multimedia
Computer Lab is located in the Paxson Communication Center and has ten
computers and an optical image scanner. It is open some weekday evenings
and some time each weekend upon request. Several classes use this lab due to
die special equipment installed, which limits its availability. A fourth lab is
located on the third floor of Hardin Hall, which houses the nursing and
occupational therapy programs. A fifth lab contains 10 laptop computers and
is located in the Clark Education Center. The latter three labs are maintained
within their respective departments and students within those areas of study
will have priority to use computers within those labs.
Each lab also has at least one letter quality printer, and a lab assistant is on
duty each evening and on weekends in the Information Technology
Department to assist students in using the available resources. Assistance
from the IT Help Desk is available by calling 423.461.8704 or emailing
HelpDesk@Milligan.edu.
Phone Service
Milligan College maintains its own phone network. Each room has its own
private phone connection with voice mail and caller ID available. Phones,
however, are not provided. Students can be reached by dialing 423.461.8300
followed by their extension. The extension number is usually a building code
followed by the room number.
For more information about phone service, contact the Information
Technology department at 423.461.8704 or HelpDesk@Milligan.edu.
Cable TV in the Residence Hall Rooms
Milligan College provides access to over 60 cable TV channels, including
some that are operated by the Milligan College Communications Department.
Each residence hall room has one cable TV outlet.
For more information about the cable TV network, contact the Information
Technology department at 423.461.8704 or HelpDesk@Milligan.edu.
Learning Disabilities
1. Students are responsible for making their learning disabilities known to
Milligan College. Students who wish to have special accommodations
for their learning disabilities shall submit documentation for those needs
to the dean. Appropriate documentation shall consist of:
a) evidence of previous school accommodation (Individualized
Educational Plan [IEP] developed within the three years prior to
submission by the student to the dean with specific modifications
of the learning program listed) and
b) a report of an evaluation conducted within the three years prior by
a psychologist, psychiatrist, or properly certified educational diag-
nostician, diagnosing the learning disability and making specific
remedial recommendations.
2. For each student requesting accommodation, the dean will request an
evaluation of the documents by the professional Counseling Staff
and/or special education faculty of Milligan College. This evaluation
should:
a) verify the adequacy of the documentation.
b) suggest a plan of action, with specific accommodations to the stu-
dent's learning program at Milligan.
3. Based on the documentation and evaluation, the dean will notify the
student's instructors each semester of the plan of action and specific
accommodations that are to be granted.
4. When a student's documentation is lacking or insufficient or is consid-
ered outdated, it may be necessary to secure a psychologist's evaluation.
The need for a psychologist's evaluation will be established by the pro-
fessional Counseling Staff of Milligan College. In such cases, the stu-
dent will be referred to a local psychologist for evaluation. It shall be
the student's responsibility to secure the needed evaluation by sufficient-
ly trained psychologists. Without the completion of this step, the
College will assume no responsibility for accommodations. The College
Counseling Staff might be consulted for direction to clinicians to per-
form the evaluation.
5. In cases where either faculty members or students believe that the
accommodations have been established in error, or where extenuating
circumstances are present that are not adequately addressed in the docu-
mentation, an appeal can be made to the entire ADA Committee. All
appeals shall be made in writing to the vice president for student devel-
opment. Final decisions of the ADA Committee will be considered
binding.
6. Students who have been granted accommodations for learning disabili-
ties and believe they are not receiving those accommodations from
instructors at Milligan shall have the right to make specific appeal to the
dean for enforcement of the plan of action.

Library Services
Students find in the P. H. Welshimer Memorial Library a wide variety of
materials to support their academic work and leisure rime reading. These
resources include: books, journals, magazines, documents, papers, non-print
materials, and access to many information databses.
Special collections within the Library contain materials on the history of
Milligan College, the Restoration Movement, and the local area.
The Library participates in resource-sharing agreements with the libraries of
the Appalachian College Association, Emmanuel School of Religion, East
Tennessee State University (main campus and medical school), and Holston
Associated Libraries, Inc. (HAL). HAL consists of Milligan and seven addi-
tional libraries in the region. The computer system displays in each library the
holdings of all eight libraries in a shared catalog. Materials are readily lent
among the libraries. Many additional features of the system enhance informa-
tion exchange and resource sharing. Through these agreements, Milligan stu-
dents have access to many materials beyond the considerable holdings of the
Welshimer Library. Further, membership in the Southeastern Library Network
provides interlibrarv loan access to the holdings of thousands of additional
libraries worldwide.
Probation and Dismissal of
Undergraduate Students
An undergraduate student who fails to receive a 2.0 grade point average dur-
ing any semester of enrollment in Milligan College or who fails to have a 2.0
cumulative grade point average is placed on academic probation or dismissed.
The student's social behavior and attitude exhibited toward academic pursuit
are factors in determining probation or dismissal. If the student on probation
fails to achieve a 2.0 the following semester, the College is not obligated to
grant the privilege of further study at Milligan College.
Milligan College is seriously concerned that even7 student who enters the
College makes progress toward the attainment of a degree. Consequently aca-
demic progress is judged to be paramount to the many extracurricular activi-
ties that are available to Milligan College students. Every student is encour-
aged to participate in extracurricular activities; but, in those cases where par-
ticipation is deemed to be detrimental to the student's academic progress, it is
the policy of the College to limit such participation. To participate, the stu-
dent must maintain the following grade average: rising sophomores, a 1.6; and
rising juniors and seniors, a 2.0. Additional limitations may be imposed as
deemed appropriate by the dean.
some instances, the major exam is incorporated into a senior-level
course in the major. Students pursuing double majors must complete a
mojors exam in each major.
Testing Services
AH entering students are evaluated in the basic skills of reading, writing, and
mathematics. Proficiency in these basic areas is a graduation requirement.
Services are provided to help students attain these proficiencies (see
Developmental Studies).
■ The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is administered on an individual basis for
those entering graduate studies. The MAT may be scheduled through
the Testing Office.
■ The Academic Profile exam evaluates students in general education
requirements and is administered to entering freshman and/or returning
juniors in the fall.
■ The senior major exam, which is required of all baccalaureate degree-seek-
ing students and evaluates the students in their major fields of study, is
administered on the last day of classes in December for December grad-
uates and the last Friday of March for spring and summer graduates. In

Milligan College recognizes that not all college-level learning occurs in a col-
lege classroom and awards credit earned by testing. The Testing Office evalu-
ates and/or administers the following testing programs:
■ Advanced Placement Program
■ College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
■ DANTES Program
■ International Baccalaureate Program
Milligan College students may submit scores on examinations taken through
these programs to the registrar for evaluation. College credit will be granted
on the basis of an acceptable score earned through these testing programs as
determined by the Academic Committee rather than by the testing company
under the conditions below. See the tables below for information about AP
and CLEP tests, acceptable scores, and credits awarded. A DANTES score
that is equivalent to at least a grade of "B" is reviewed by the director of test-
ing for possible course credit. See the director of testing for specific informa-
tion about the DANTES Program.
Guidelines
1 . At least one semester of work must be completed at Milligan College
before credit earned by testing will be recorded on the transcript.
2. No credit by exam will be allowed after a student has earned a cumula-
tive total of 64 hours of college credit.
3. A maximum of 32 semester hours can be earned by testing.
4. A recording fee of S10.00 per hour will be charged.

Transfer Credit Policy
For students matriculating in Milligan College beginning spring 2001, only
the credit hours for transfer courses will be posted to the student's transcript.
Xo grades will be recorded for the transferred credit. Quality points for
transfer credits will not be included in the MiUigan College grade point aver-
age. Milligan College will not accept any transfer credit for courses at other
institutions for which a grade below a C- was earned. The minimum number
of credit hours earned at Milligan toward a bachelor's degree shall be 45.
After matriculation, for undergraduate students in traditional programs, no
transfer credit will be allowed for Freshman and Sophomore Humanities
(HUMN 101, 102, 201, 202); Christ and Culture (BIBL 471); Old and New
Testament Surrey (BIBL 123, 124).
The transfer of credits after matriculation requires advance advising and
approval- A matriculated student may receive credit from another institution
only if appropriate signatures are secured before faking the course.
"Appropriate signatures" are denned as the signature of anv one of the three
registrars and, if deemed necessary bv the registrar, the signature of the stu-
dent's adviser or area chair.
A student transferring from another college must be in residence during the
three semesters (may include one nine-week summer session) immediately
preceding graduation and must successfully complete not fewer than 45 of
the 128 required semester hours through instruction at Milligan College. A
minimum of one-third of the hours within a major must be earned at
Milligan College to receive a degree from Milligan.
A minimum of one-third of the hours within a major must be earned at
Milligan College in order to receive a degree from Milligan.
Students enrolled concurrently at another institution must count the number
of hours with the hours at Milligan College in determining a full load for the
Transcripts
Official transcripts of the student's academic record in Milligan College are
furnished only upon the request of the student. Requests must be addressed
o the Registrar's Office and must be signed by the student. A one-time tran-
script fee is charged to all matriculating students. This is a lifetime fee for all
transcripts. Transcripts are withheld if the student or alumnus has an unset-
ded obligation to the College.

Withdrawal
From College
No student may withdraw from the College without the permission of the
dean. Upon securing the consent of the dean, the student is expected to meet
all obligations involving instructors, fellow students, deans, residence hall
directors, the vice president for business and finance, and the registrar. The
withdrawal process begins and ends in the Office of the Vice President for
Student Development; other college offices (dean, registrar, financial aid, stu-
dent accounts) are notified of the student's withdrawal.
Students who leave the College without fulfilling these obligations receive
"Fs" in all courses in which they are enrolled and forfeit any returnable fees
twhich may have been paid to the College.
Students withdrawing from the College during the first eleven weeks of the
semester (or the equivalent of 11/15 of an academic term when the term
length is other than 15 weeks) will receive a grade of "W" in all courses.
Withdrawals from the College after the eleventh week will be recorded with
"W" or "F" at the discretion of the instructor. A student who does not with-
draw by the official procedure will receive an "F" for each course.
The College may administratively withdraw a student who is not attending
class or otherwise not demonstrating a serious academic effort.
Administrative withdrawals during the first eleven weeks of the semester (or
the equivalent of 11/15 of an academic term when the term length is other
than 15 weeks) will receive a grade of "W" in all courses. Administrative
withdrawals from the College after the eleventh week will be recorded with
"W" or "F" at the discretion of the instructor.
The College may dismiss a student for social infractions. Social dismissals
during the first eleven weeks of the semester (or the equivalent of 11/15 of
an academic term when the term length is other than 1 5 weeks) will receive a
grade of "W" in all courses, unless failing grades are also a part of the penal-
ty. Social dismissals after the eleventh week will be recorded with "W" or
"F" at the discretion of the instructor.
From a Class
A student may, with the approval of the instructor and the adviser, withdraw
from a class through the eleventh week of classes (or the equivalent of 11/15
of an academic term when the term length is other than 15 weeks). Classes
dropped are evaluated with the grade "W" Withdrawal from a class with a
"W" after the eleventh week of classes requires the consent of the instructor,
the adviser, and the dean and will only be considered in extenuating circum-
stances. The signed withdrawal form must be received in the Registrar's
Office before the end of the last class day (not including final exam week) of
the term.
Writing and Study Skills Center
The Writing and Study Skills Center is a place where any student can access
resources and receive classroom or individual instruction for academic suc-
cess. Located in Derthick 102, the Center is staffed by a writing and study
skills instructor. Hours are posted on the door.

Accounting
Area of Business
Milligan College offers an applied finance and accounting major (B.A. or
B.S. degree) and an accounting minor. These programs support the fol-
lowing goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to read
and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and effective-
ly, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts and the
social sciences, and to understand a significant body of material in their
major field of study.
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through stewardship of
resources and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career or
profession.
Courses in finance, economics, and accounting are designed to prepare the
student for careers in finance, public accounting, corporate and managerial
accounting (controllership), and related enterprise and institutional manage-
ment areas. Basic skills are learned and practiced and higher-level finance and
accounting concepts and principles are acquired through problem-oriented
courses in each of the discipline areas. The use of finance and accounting as
managerial tools is emphasized.
Graduates with a major in applied finance and accounting are expected to: (1)
possess broad finance, accounting and business knowledge as well as mastery
of the technical knowledge of finance and accounting in order to serve the
organizations in which they work; (2) be well prepared to find ready employ-
ment in the field; (3) possess the ability to apply computer and information
technology to solve real-world finance, accounting and business problems; (4)
have acquired leadership and management skills that are necessary for the
successful planning, implementation, and control of the business enterprise,
all rooted in a foundation of ethical and moral principles.
Students planning to become certified public accountants should be aware
that many states have made substantial changes in their educational require-
ments for persons desiring a CPA Certificate. These requirements vary in
their specific requirements from state to state but must be met before the
applicant's first sitting for the Uniform CPA Examination. Students should
check the exact requirements for the particular state in which they intend to
seek certification. For example, the State of Tennessee requires a total of 150
semester hours, which is an additional 22 semester hours beyond the 128
needed for a bachelor's degree at Milligan College. Students intending to
become certified public accountants are encouraged to consult with their
advisers early in their college career.

Bible
Area of Biblical Learning
Study of the Bible has been foundational to Milligan College since its incep-
tion. As the mission statement of the College indicates, Bible stands at the
cote of the "Christian woddview" that shapes all else about the College. The
first two values affirmed in die mission statement ("A Positive, Personal
Christian Faith That Tesus is Lord and Savior" and "A Commitment to
Follow the Teachings of the Christian Scripture in One's Personal and Social
Ethics") can only find reality in sincere study of the Bible. And because such
study is demanding and stimulating, students enhance "The Capacity to
Recognize and Assume Responsibility in Society" and appreciate "The
Knowledge, Meaning, and Application of Sound Scholarship" in the Bible
major However, Milligan College believes this serious study of scripture
should always be connected with service (or "ministry'1), and so each track in
the Bible major is focused toward teaching, ministering, or serving others in
some way.
The Bible major aims partly to prepare people for leadership ministry in the
church, this and other cultures, or to equip the student otherwise to under-
stand and teach the content and meaning of scripture. The provision of spe-
cific "tracks" within the major recognizes the desire and need for specializa-
tion in focus for future service. Ministry of any emphasis or deeper academic
study both need biblical and historical content, so the same core of essential
courses is required for each track within the major. Specialization for particu-
lar ministry then is provided through the requirements of those tracks and
through choices for related electives. A wide diversity of options in the minis-
terial and scholady fields can be pursued with this major Those seeking grad-
uate education with the possibility of teaching Bible or religion courses will
also find the general studies track most helpful, as those pursuing a ministry
track will also find themselves well prepared for seminary study. And over the
years Milligan graduates have been well prepared to serve ably in various
fields of ministry.
Milligan College expects those who graduate with Bible majors to: (1) be pre-
pared for service in a church, whether in a professional leadership role or as a
scholar and teacher of scripture; (2) those in ministry tracks be able to pre-
pare and preach sermons or teach lessons that have solid scriptual content,
and those in the general studies track be able to help others "righth" divide
the word of truth"; (3) have a good foundation in biblical, church historical,
and either practical or scholady studies for lifelong learning; (4) be equipped
to pursue seminary or graduate education with a good preparation for that
advanced study, (5) provide a good Christian example as a student of scrip-
ture. Emphases of spiritual dependence upon God, solid academic study-
including serious study of the Bible itself-and practices of both integritv and
effectiveness highlight a Bible major from Milligan.
Bible major - B.A. (37-39 hrs)
The Bible major at Milligan — requiring 3~ to 39 hours — leads to the B.A.
degree, which requires intermediate proficiency in a foreign language.
Language proficiency satisfies a general education requirement for students
completing a BA. degree. The Bible faculty strongly recommends this lan-
guage be Greek (or Hebrew, when available! for the best study of the Bible.
[Xote: those pursuing the General Studies track are required to take a biblical
language to satisfy the general education requirement] Anyone considering a
major or minor in Bible is advised to take BIBL 123 and 124 immediateh"
after enrolling.
The Bible major consists of several components:, two of which are the same
in all of the tracks: (1) a Bible core, and (2) a church history core. In addition
each of the ministry-focused tracks (Le., Children's Ministry, Missions,
Pastoral Ministry, or Youth Ministry) have (3) a Christian ministry core, and

Business
Administration
Area of Business
The business administration major supports the following goals of Milligan
College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to read
and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and effective-
ly, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts and the
social sciences, and to understand a significant body of material in their
major field of study.
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through stewardship of
resources and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career or
profession.
The core courses in business administration provide students with the broad
base of knowledge and level of technical competence necessary to succeed in
a business setting. Core courses in management, marketing, business law, and
ethics expose students to the fundamental principles of business administra-
tion while providing the preparation necessary to continue study in upper
level courses. The main purpose of the courses in economics is to develop in
die student the ability to analyze and understand economic principles and
institutions from an historical as well as a contemporary point of view. These
courses furnish the theoretical background necessary for the achievement of
a particular vocational or professional goal. Core courses in accounting pro-
vide students the requisite knowledge for understanding the financial aspects
of the business enterprise. All core courses, as well as those within each
emphasis, constitute the academic basis for graduate study in business and
related fields.
Graduates with a major in business administration are expected to:
(1) Demonstrate knowledge of the business core that is sufficient to provide
each student with a comprehensive understanding of the discipline's major
functional areas. Likewise, students will possess the understanding necessary
to successfully integrate the functional areas into a cohesive whole for the
purpose of short and long-term decision-making. This body of knowledge
will be sufficient for success in the workplace or in continued graduate stud-
ies; (2) Demonstrate knowledge in one or more areas of emphasis, providing
students with the deeper understanding required for solving complex business
problems including those faced under conditions of uncertainty; (3)
Demonstrate knowledge of written and oral communication skills as well as
the use of computer technology and mathematics sufficient to support the
application of quantitative principles; and (4) Exhibit the development of the
leadership and management skills that are necessary for the successful plan-
ning, implementation, and control of the business enterprise, all rooted in a
foundation of ethical and moral principles.
The major allows the student to complete a strong core curriculum in busi-
ness, accounting, and economics and to choose from one of eight emphases,
allowing for in-depth study in a specific field. Students majoring in business
administration with an accounting emphasis may not minor in accounting.
Students majoring in business administration with an economics emphasis
may not minor in economics. Students majoring in business administration
with a health care administration emphasis may not minor in health care
administration. Students majoring in business administration with a legal stud-
ies emphasis may not minor in legal studies.

resources and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career or
profession.

The admissions committee evaluates applicants on the overall merit of all
admissions criteria. Therefore, minimum GPAs, GMAT scores, and other
application requirements are not absolute. The committee allows strengths in
some areas to compensate for weaknesses in another area. The overall intent
is to admit students who the admissions committee believes will contribute
effectively to the overall cohort and who are considered to have high potential
for success in a graduate program.
Transfer Credit
Due to the nature of a cohort-based program, transfer credit is not granted.
Students admitted to the program must complete the entire sequence of
courses at Milligan College.
Unconditional Acceptance
Applicants who meet all admissions criteria are admitted unconditionally to
the MBA program, based upon space availability. If space is not available in
the requested cohort, the applicant is placed on a waiting list or, alternatively,
admitted to the next scheduled cohort.
Provisional Acceptance
Students may be accepted to the MBA program on a provisional basis, pend-
ing the submission of an acceptable GMAT score. Upon review of the appli-
cant's GMAT score, the applicant will either receive unconditional acceptance
or be declined by the Admissions Committee. An applicant's GMAT score

ing the submission of an acceptable GMAT score and the acceptable comple-
tion of all prerequisite course requirements. Generally, when prerequisite

milligan college academic catalog • 2005-06 • www.milligan.edu
Special Enrollment
This status is designed for students whose goal is to be accepted into the
MBA program as degree seeking, but lack an acceptable GMAT score by the
established deadline. Such status may be granted only by the MBA
Admissions Committee upon review of an otherwise complete application
file. This enables students who have been approved for such status to enroll
for graduate credit, but it does not guarantee that such credit will be counted
toward degree objectives. When the MBA Admissions Committee has reclas-
sified a student from special enrollment status to degree seeking status, a
maximum of ten semester hours of special enrollment credit may be counted
toward degree requirements. It should be noted that students attending the
MBA program under special enrollment status are not eligible for federal
financial aid.
Applicant Deferral Policy
MBA applicants who have been conditionally, provisionally, or unconditionally
accepted have two years from the date on the initial acceptance letter to satis-
factorily complete any necessary prerequisites and to matriculate as Milligan
MBA students. If the applicant does not matriculate to Milligan within the
time specified, it will be necessary to reapply to the program.
Temporary Withdrawal
and Readmission
Because of the nature of the program, students are encouraged to maintain
continuous enrollment after beginning classes. Realizing that extenuating cir-
cumstances may occur that require a student to withdraw temporarily from
the program, there is a provision for one such withdrawal.
Students who determine that it is neessary to withdraw from the program
must notify the Director of the MBA and/or the MBA Program Manager.
Written rationale for the decision to withdraw must be given by the student.
That written request is attached to a withdrawal form that is routed to the
appropriate College offices by the MBA Program Manager. The official date
of the withdrawal is determined by the date the written request is received by
the Director of the MBA or the MBA Program Manager.
Students who withdraw from the MBA program receive "Ws" for any
uncompleted courses in the semester in which they are enrolled at the time of
the withdrawal. The grade of "F" is recorded for a student who withdraws
after the withdrawal deadline. The withdrawal deadline is determined on a
semester basis by the Registrar's Office.
Students receiving financial aid who choose to withdraw from a course or
from the program must understand that their decision can have significant
consequences related to financial aid. Any refund of tuition or fees in case of
withdrawal is governed by the refund policy in the finances section of the cat-
alog. The registrar makes any exceptions to stated academic withdrawal policy.
In order to be readmitted, students must have the approval by the Director of
the MBA. Students must request readmission within three years of withdraw-
ing. Readmission is granted pending space availability at the appropriate point
in a subsequent cohort. Graduation requirements in effect at the time of
readmission will apply.
Please see the Milligan College Catalog regarding implications of withdrawal and/ 'or read-
mission for recipients of financial aid .

adherence to the College's code of academic integrity. Specific standards
include but are not limited to:

dismissal from the program.
Grade Requirements for Graduation
Students must achieve a cumulative grade point average of "B" (3.0) to grad-
uate from the MBA program.
Faculty Adviser

ongoing academic advising. However, it is recognized that questions related
to such things as withdrawal, readmission, graduation requirements, and other
academically related matters may arise. In the event of such questions, stu-
dents should contact the MBA Director for assistance. The Director will

bursement policy and a deposit check of $1,207. This deposit covers the
tuition for the first course ($1,100), the technology fee for the first term
($87), and the lifetime transcript fee ($20).
A statement for each term is provided to the employee-student. This state-
ment is designed to aid the student with the reimbursement process through
the employer. Tuition is the responsibility of the student, not the employer.
Institutional Scholarships
Institutional scholarships are available only to students who pursue majors
other than the ADCP business administration major. ADCP students are eli-
gible to apply for state and federal tuition assistance programs, for employer
reimbursement when applicable, and any other scholarship programs.
Degree Requirements
The student who completes the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in
business administration must meet all general education requirements (GER).
Students are not required to complete a minor; elective hours can constitute
the balance of the degree. The degree requirements are as follows:
1. Successful completion of 128 semester hours
2. Successful completion at Milligan College of the forty-eight semester
hours in the business administration major
3. A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on all work (4.0 scale)
4. Successful completion of the general education requirements
5. Completion of the senior examination
General Education Requirements (GER)
Some general education requirements (GER) are met in the ADCP business
administration major. Students who choose to complete a second major are
not required to complete any additional GER. General education require-
ments are graduation requirements and, thus, are not an admission factor.

(See also Trobarion and Dismissal" bekrw.) In instances of serious personal
emergency, a student may be unable to complete all the requirements in a
particular course by the appointed datefsi. In such cases, The student must
continue to attend class and must contact the instructor to request that an
Incomplete i"\T grace be granted. The student must resolve the "F within

Repeating Courses
Any student who must 01 wishes to repeat a course mav do so on a space-
available basis. Tuition is paid for anv repeated courses at the current tuition
rate for the group with which the student will meet for that repeated course.
See Course Repeat Policv undet Academic Policies in this Catalog.
Course Attendance
Because of the concentrated scheduling and the emphasis upon participatory
learning, students need to attend everv class meeting. Please note that the
emphasis is on attendance in a course. Students are expected to arrive on
time for each class session. Attendance has a positive effect upon the learning
that occurs in any course, bur attendance is particularly important in con-
densed courses. Although emergencies may cause a student to be late for
class or actually to miss an entire session, such situations should be the
exception rather than the rule. When an emergency requires tardiness or
absence, it is the students responsibility to contact the instructor about
missed assignments and class content. Making arrangements with a classmate
to receive copies of class notes or a tape of the class can be useful but can-
not equal attending class. Excessive absence can result in unintentional with-
drawal and/or failure of the course.
Calendar and Student Load
Students enroll in major courses to total twelve semester hours each term. It
is recommended that the student not enroll in any additional courses outside
the major. However, those students who conclude that additional course
work is prudent mav take non-major courses if the student has the prior writ-
ten consent of both the director of lifelong learning and associate registrar.
Written consent is obtained when a Course Approval Form, available in the
Office for Lifelong Learning, is completed- If the student fails to obtain writ-
ten consent for non-major courses, Milligan College is not committed to
apply those hours toward degree requirements. Although completion of all
degree requirements is ultimately the responsibility of the student, this proce-
dure supports accurate academic advising.
Probation and Dismissal
A student who fails to receive a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) during any
period of enrollment at Milligan or who fails to have a 2.0 cumulative GPA al
any rime is placed on academic probation or dismissed. The student's behav-
iot and attitude exhibited toward academic pursuit are factors in determining
probation or dismissal If a student fails to achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0
by the end of the term in which the student is currently enrolled, the College
is not obligated to grant the privilege of furthet studv at Milligan College.
Commencement and Baccalaureate
Degree candidates are encouraged to participate in commencement cere-
monies; ceremonies are conducted in May, August, and Decembet each year.
Candidates for a degree are identified through their completion of the
"Intent to Graduate"' form. Degree candidates must have met all degree
requirements and the student's account must be paid in full prior to com-
mencement. Arrangements must be completed as early as possible through
the Registrar's Office, the Office for lifelong Learning, and the Business
Office.

60 children's ministry
Children's Ministry
Area of Biblical Learning
Ministering to children in our society has become a significant service for
Christians. Childhood is obviously a formative time of life, and being able to
help children come to know Jesus as the Christ through scripture and the
love and support of the church rises to great prominence as a form of
Christian ministry. Children's ministers quite often meet the needs of entire
families in the process of helping and ministering to children.
Preparing people for this emphasis in ministry fits very well into the mission
of Milligan College. It clearly supports "A Positive, Personal Faith that Jesus
is Lord and Savior" for that is the strength of this ministry and the whole
reason for people pursuing this calling. Likewise, by affirming the necessity of
integrity in any role of ministry this specialization affirms "A Commitment
to Follow the Teachings of the Christian Scripture in One's Personal and
Social Ethics." The "Capacity to Recognize and Assume Responsibility in
Society" obviously undergirds any professional ministry role, and a concern
for "The Knowledge, Meaning, and Application of Sound Scholarship" is
emphasized as part of a liberal arts education at Milligan College. More
specifically, the focus on children leads naturally to "Participation in the
Activities of a Healthy Lifestyle." Quite definitely, preparation for children's
ministry supports Milligan College's overall mission.
The Children's Ministry track in the Bible major, or the Children's Ministry
minor, prepares a person to participate fully in a ministerial staff of a local
church and be able to assume other roles in addition to the focus on children.
Because of the strong emphasis toward Bible and ministry, students are
advised to take extra courses in child development and/ or child psychology,
and to consider electives from early childhood or elementary education back-
grounds in order to broaden their readiness for working direcdy with chil-
dren. Generally, such a ministry involves working with children from nursery
age up through elementary and sometimes middle school ages. But ministers
for both children and youth will find this minor or the children's ministry
track in the Bible major effective for service preparation, as will people work-
ing with camps, Christian schools, evangelistic efforts, and other parachurch
ministries.
Milligan College expects those who graduate with a Bible major and an
emphasis in Children's Ministry track to: (1) be equipped to stay abreast of
changes in ministry to children and family involvement in the church and
serve effectively through them; (2) be prepared for service in a leadership role
of ministry in the church and able to function as part of a team/ staff rela-
tionship; (3) have a good foundation in biblical, church historical and practi-
cal studies in order to prepare and deliver sound teaching to children and
their families and to continue in lifelong learning; (4) be equipped to pursue
seminary of graduate education with a good preparation for that advanced
study, and (5) provide a good Christian example as a student of scripture and
disciple of Jesus. Emphases of spiritual dependence upon God, solid aca-
demic study, including serious study of the Bible itself, and practices of both
integrity and effectiveness highlight this program of study.
Bible major - B.A. (39 hrs)
Children's Ministry track (see "Bible")
The Bible major with the Children's Ministry track — requiring 39 minimum
hours — leads to the BA. degree, which requires intermediate proficiency in
a foreign language. Language proficiency satisfies a general education require-
ment, not a requirement of the Bible major. For biblical studies beyond
undergraduate work, Greek (or Hebrew when available) is strongly recom-
mended.
Children's Ministry minor (21 hrs)
Milligan College offers a minor in Children's Ministry, which consists of 21
hours outlined below. Students pursuing the Children's Ministry minor are
strongly encouraged to take PSYC 252 or 253 as three hours of their social
learning requirement

Christian ministry 61
Christian Ministry
Area of Biblical Learning
Ministry or service, especially in the name of Christ, provides the fullest
expression of realizing what Milligan College seeks to achieve. Motivation for
ministry must come from "A Positive, Personal Christian Faith that Jesus is
Lord and Savior" (the first statement of Milligan's Mission Statement) or it
will never be effective or long lasting. Likewise, "A Commitment to Follow
the Teachings of the Christian Scripture in One's Personal and Social Ethics,"
"The Capacity to Recognize and Assume Responsibility in Society," and "The
Knowledge, Meaning, and Application of Sound Scholarship" all find oppor-
tune expression in Christian ministry. All of these are addressed specifically in
the Bible major.
The Christian ministry minor prepares people for serving Christ in a variety
of ways, especially as a bi-vocational or volunteer leader. With the basic con-
cept of Milligan College that "every Christian is a minister" of some type,
this minor can prepare people specifically for service in a church setting or a
church-related organization. Classes with this focus form a significant part of
each major in the area of biblical learning, and the use of them as a minor
provides a supplement to whatever other major is selected, positioning a per-
son for effective service in a broad range of roles.
Milligan College expects those who graduate with Christian ministry minors
to (1) be prepared to assist in a leadership role of ministry in the church; (2)
understand enough of the workings of a church staff to assume a position of
responsibility in a church; (3) have a good sampling of biblical, church histori-
cal, and practical studies to encourage lifelong learning; (4) provide a good
Christian example as a student of scripture. Emphases of spiritual depend-
ence upon God, solid academic study including serious study of the Bible
itself, and practices of both integrity and effectiveness highlight a Christian
ministry minor from Milligan.

Licensure Programs
Area of Education
The undergraduate teacher education program supports the following goals
of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to
read and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and
effectively, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts
and the natural and social sciences, and to understand a significant body
of material in their major fields of study.
■ Students will demonstrate social responsibility in numerous ways, such
as serving in churches, on the mission field (domestic and foreign), and
with social agencies; mentoring, nurturing, and protecting others; and
displaying increased understanding of and experience with other cul-
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through awareness of
health issues, appreciation for both the arts and sciences, stewardship of
resources, and preparation for graduate studies and a tewarding career
or profession.
The undergraduate teacher education program is designed to serve persons
who plan to obtain professional licensure for teaching in early childhood
(serving children from birth through grade three), elementary (serving chil-
dren kindergarten through sixth grade), middle grades (serving children from
grades four through eight), secondary (serving children from grades seven
through twelve), special education (serving children from kindergarten
through grade twelve), and selected K-12 specialty fields (music, theatre, and
physical education). Milligan College is seeking state approval to offer the K-6
licensure program. Milligan College has voluntarily suspended the special
education program due to limited demand. No new students will be enrolled
in this program until further notice. Students interested in teaching in ele-
mentary schools may select early childhood (early elementary grades), elemen-
tary (K-6), and/ or middle grades (upper elementary) programs of study.
Education students may also choose to pursue careers in professional settings
other than schools, e.g., child development programs, church settings, and
post-secondary institutions.
The Milligan College teachet education faculty is committed to nurture and
develop caring and reflective teachers, those who reflect continually on their
practice in search of excellence, and who care deeply about the students and
families they serve. Knowing that every child deserves a quality teacher, we
are committed to developing in our teacher candidates the professional
knowledge, skills, and dispositions required to succeed in contemporary
schools. Undergraduate and graduate initial licensure programs of study are
available.
General Information
Admission to the Teacher Education Program
Entering undergraduate students who intend to pursue professional teaching
licensure should file a statement of "Intent to Pursue Teaching Licensure" in
the Center for Assistance to Students in Education (CASE) at the beginning
of their first semester at Milligan. Filing this statement will establish an initial
program of study and designate an education adviser. Students initiate the
application process leading to admission to teacher education while enrolled
in Education 150, Introduction to Education, or immediately upon transfer
from another program or institution. For full admission to the professional
level of the teacher education program, students must have at least a 2.50
overall grade point average on a minimum of 30 credit hours. A minimum
2.75 overall grade point average will be required for subsequent approval to
student teach. Students also must complete the Pre-Professional Skills Test
(PPST) with Tennessee approved scores and be accepted following an inter-
view by the teacher education faculty, serving as an Admissions and Retention
Board. Students with an Enhanced ACT score of 22 or an enhanced SAT
score of 1020 are exempt from taking the PPST. Admission decisions will be
made once each semester. The application deadline for fall semester admis-
sions is the last Friday in September. The application deadline for spring
semester admissions is the last Friday in February. Completing all require-
ments for full admission to teacher education is the responsibility of the stu-
dent. Students not yet admitted to teacher education or those admitted in
either provisional or probationary status may not be allowed to enroll in pro-
fessional level course work. Teacher candidates with PPST and/or grade
point average deficiencies will not be approved for enrollment in courses
numbered 350 or above, including student teaching, without the permission
of the instructor.
Competent written language skills are also prerequisite to admission to the
professional level of studies in the Milligan College teacher education pro-
gram. Competency must be demonstrated through a written examination
process approved bv the faculty (see Teacher Education Handbook).
Enrollment in all teacher education courses numbered 350 and above requires
admission to the professional level of studies or prior approval of the
instructor. Admission to the program does not guarantee continuance or
completion. The teacher education faculty may recommend that a candidate
not continue in the program if determined that such action is in the interest
of Milligan College, the teacher candidate, or the profession. The candidate
will then be administratively withdrawn from the program.
Licensure
Teacher candidates complete supervised field experiences and student teach-
ing in public or private partner schools in nearby communities. During one of
the senior semesters, candidates complete a full-time student teaching experi-
ence and participate in a series of associated capstone seminars especially
designed to provide opportunities to reflect on relationships between theory
and practical experiences in education. Candidates will also develop and
maintain a portfolio throughout the program to document emerging profes-
sional competencies. Final assessment of program outcomes (as reflected in
the portfolio, the student teaching experience, and minimum scores on all
PRAXIS II subtests required for the license sought) is a critical component
of the capstone seminar. A passing grade in the capstone seminar reflects
program completion and will notbe awarded until all program outcomes are
fully met. Early completion of all PRAXIS II subtests is strongly recom-
mended to ensure completion of this course as well as the receipt of all cre-
dentials including one's academic transcript demonstrating program comple-
tion for submission to state regulatory agencies for licensure.
Teacher candidates should anticipate various fees related to state licensure
requirements. Fees will be incurred for completion of the Pre-Professional
Skills Test (PPST) and the PRAXIS II, for purchase of liability insurance, for
verification of CPR and/or first aid proficiency, and any other licensure
requirements mandated by the State of Tennessee.
Milligan College offers curricula for licensure issued by the State of
Tennessee for early childhood educators (PreK-Grade 3), elementary educa-
tors (K-6), middle grades educators (Grades 4-8), secondary educators, special
educators (special education program voluntarily suspended currently), and
specialists in music, theatre, and physical education. Milligan College is
approved bv the Tennessee Department of Education for teacher education
and is accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE). Successful completion of this program leads to
Tennessee licensure. Meeting all Tennessee licensure requirements is manda-

education 71
tory, even for those who intend to move to other states for employment.
Through state reciprocal licensure agreements, some Milligan graduates also
attain licensure in other states.
Accreditation by NCATE ensures that a teacher education degree from
Milligan is instantly recognized in Tennessee and the nation for its quality.
Milligan College is one of only approximately 600 NCATE institutions
nationally. Research has shown that graduates from NCATK institutions sig-
nificantly outperform those from non-NCATE institutions on National
Teacher Examinations. Milligan's commitment to meet NCATE standards
means that each graduate of teacher education programs gains the knowl-
edge, skills, and dispositions needed for success as a professional educator.
Portfolio
Teacher candidates are required to develop a portfolio documenting their
mastery of applicable Milligan College program outcomes. Portfolios are
organized around outcome statements based upon Interstate New Teacher
Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards and must be sub-
mitted to the Center for Assistance to Students in Education (CASE) during
the student teaching semester. Initial and continuing full INTASC admission
status is contingent upon periodic review of developing portfolios. Fall
semester student teachers must submit portfolios for final review by the first
Monday in November; spring semester student teachers must submit portfo-
lios by the first Monday in April. Students failing to meet these deadlines will
receive a grade of "Incomplete" in EDUC 460 Capstone Seminar. This grade
of "Incomplete" will delay graduation, program completion, and recommen-
dation for licensure.
Student Teaching
Approval to student teach is granted only to teacher candidates who have
been fullv admitted to the professional level of the teacher education program
and who maintain eligibility at that level. In addition to meeting established
minimum grade point averages and Tennessee-approved PPST scores,
approval to student teach requires:
1. Maintaining a minimum overall 2.75 grade point average;
2. Earning a minimum grade of C-minus in all courses in the academic
major;
3. Earning a minimum grade of C-minus in all required teacher education
courses in the program of study;
4. Obtaining liability insurance;
5. Verification of CPR and/or first aid proficiency;
6. Documentation of emerging teaching competencies in a portfolio; and
7. Positive review by the Admission and Retention Committee.
The application deadline for fall semester student teaching is the first Monday
in February. The application deadline for spring semester student teaching is
the first Monday in October. Applications processed after these deadlines will
incur a substantial late placement fee.
The candidate should expect to take no more than thirteen hours of credit
(twelve hours of student teaching and one hour of the capstone seminar)
during the student teaching semester. Employment and other substantial
extracurricular activities during the student teaching semester are strongly dis-
couraged. As a part of the student teaching approval process, the director of
teacher education will determine that all prerequisite course work is complet-
ed and that any course work remaining to complete the Milligan College B.A.
or B.S. program may reasonably be completed in one remaining semester.
Prerequisite course work includes all professional level education courses and
milligan college academic catalog • 2005-06 • www.milligan.edu
all courses in the academic major. Candidates pursuing licensure in two or
more areas (i.e., middle grades and early childhood education) can expect an
extended student teaching experience, possibly in a subsequent semester.
Student teaching is an experience in instruction, assessment, and classroom
management in an assigned partner school, combined with initial orientation
classes and periodic evening workshops and seminars. Student teacher experi-
ence placements will be made with partner school systems located in the sur-
rounding area in order to maintain proper supervision levels and the integrity
of" the teacher education program. The student teaching assignment typically
involves experience at two grade levels during the fifteen-week period. During
the student teaching semester, candidates observe the schedule of the
assigned partner school instead of the Milligan College schedule. Absences
for reasons other than documented illness or family emergency are strongly
discouraged. Excessive absences may result in an extension of the student
teaching experience after completion of the Milligan College semester.
Successful completion of student teaching is a condition of graduation from
Milligan College with recommendation for licensure.
PRAXIS II
Candidates completing any teacher education program are required to take the
PRAXIS II test "Principles of Learning and Teaching" and appropriate
Specialty Area Tests. Tennessee publishes a list of the required Specialty Area
Tests and passing scores for each licensure area. This list is available in the
Center for Assistance to Students in Education (CASE) or online at ETS.
Graduation does not guarantee licensure. Any teacher candidate who fails to
meet passing Tennessee scores on all required PRAXIS II tests and subtests is
not a program completer, cannot be recommended by Milligan College for
licensure, nor can be granted a degree or issued a diploma until the student
receives a passing grade.
In accordance with the United States Congress in the reauthorization of Title
II of the Higher Education Act, the Milligan College Teacher Education
Program reports the pass rates of the PRAXIS II exams for 2003 - 2004 pro-
gram completers.
Ninety-eight percent of the education students passed all institutional exams
for initial teacher licensure.
Aggregate pass rates for 2003 - 2004 were:
Professional Knowledge, 98%
Academic Content, 95%
Other Content Area, 100%
Special Teaching Populations, 100%
Center for Assistance to Students in Education (CASE)
The Center for Assistance to Students in Education (CASE) provides coordi-
nated assistance and support to students seeking professional teacher licen-
sure at Milligan College. Located in the Teacher Education Curriculum
Center, CASE attends to several critical functions throughout the various
undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs of study.
Accountability checkpoints have been established from initial contact with
potential teacher candidates through post-graduation and post-licensure fol-
low-up contacts. Academic advisement, field placements, mentoring, perform-
ance assessment and portfolio development, completion of graduation and
licensure requirements, assistance with induction into initial employment and
if necessary, tutoring and counseling are coordinated by and through CASE.
Curriculum Center and
Paul Clark Teacher Education Center
The Curriculum Center houses a collection of textbooks, instructional materi-
als, curriculum guides, professional books, and electronic resources. Also
included are audiotapes, videotapes, and educational computer software. A
work space where teacher candidates can produce materials for learning cen-
ters and bulletin boards is a part of the Center as well as a scanner, laminator,
72 education
lettering machine, transparency maker, and various consumable supplies for
the production of such materials. Also housed in the Curriculum Center are
digital cameras, videocassette recorders, and several camcorders. Computer
terminals also provide electronic access to the P. H. "Welshimer Library and
other resources via the Internet. The Paul Clark Teacher Education Center
includes a technology classroom and conference room. Located adjacent to
the curriculum center and CASE, the Paul Clark facility provides a model
environment for professional education studies.
Library
The P. H. Welshimer Library supports the academic program by providing
research materials in all subject areas. More than 100 journals and periodicals
are included in the Education Index and the Current Index to Journals in
Education. The Library holds the collection of Educational Resources
Information Center (ERIC) documents on microfiche from 1980 through the
present and indexing to all ERIC documents from 1966 to the present. The
library also subscribes to EasvNet gateway service that gives faculty and stu-
dents access to over 850 databases. Membership in the Southeastern Iibrarv
Network gives access to the inter-library loan sub-system.
The Library participates in resource-sharing agreements with the libraries of
Emmanuel School of Religion, East Tennessee State University (main campus
and medical school), and Holston Associated Libraries, Inc. (HAL). HAL
consists of Milligan and seven additional libraries in the region. The comput-
er system displays in each library the holdings of all eight libraries in a shared
catalog as well as the due dates for materials that are checked out of each
library. Materials are readily lent among the libraries. Many additional features
of the system enhance information exchange and resource sharing. Through
these agreements, "Milligan students have access to many materials bevond the
considerable holdings of the P. H. Welshimer Library.

Program (M.Ed.)
Area of Education
Initial Licensure
The master of education (M.Ed.) program includes both initial licensure and
advanced degree options. The initial licensure degree is typically a fifteen-
month professional educational program that prepares teachers for the high
level of competence expected by public and private educational institutions.
The initial licensure and advanced programs increase both the quality and
quantity of the educational experiences for teachers in professional education.
The M.Ed, initial licensure program is designed for students who have a bac-
calaureate degree with a strong general education component and one or
more specialty or endorsement areas (or majors). This program consists of 45
to 47 semester hours. Available areas of licensure are essentially the same as
those listed above for the undergraduate education program. Candidates may
finish the M.Ed, program in two summers and one academic year (i.e. fifteen
months). Students may also choose to extend course work beyond the typical
fifteen-month period.
The master of education initial licensure program supports the following
goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to read
and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and effective-
ly, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts and the
natural and social sciences, and to understand a significant body of
material in their major fields of study.
■ Students will demonstrate social responsibility in numerous ways, such
as serving in churches, on the mission field (domestic and foreign), and
with social agencies; mentoring, nurturing, and protecting others; and
displaying increased understanding of and experience with other cul-

Retention Standards and Probationary Status
XTien a student's cumulative average on courses applied toward the graduate
legree falls below 3.0, the student may be permitted one semester of proba-
ionary standing in which to raise the average sufficiendy. If the semester
iverage on all courses taken during any semester falls below 2.0, the teacher
■ducadon faculty will review the student's record for possible dismissal from
he M.Ed, program. Students earning C or below in more than six hours of
rredit will be considered by the teacher education faculty for possible proba-
ion or dismissal. Probationary status may also result from behaviors and/or
dispositions considered as unprofessional, including but not limited to absen-
teeism, tardiness, interpersonal conflict, disposition, or disrespectful behavior
directed toward peers, colleagues, school personnel, or children. Behavior also
must be consistent with the Milligan College Mission Statement and Goals.
Appeals and Reinstatement
A student who is dismissed may be reinstated upon recommendation of the
Graduate Admissions and Retention Committee. Reinstatement is not auto-
matic. The student must consult with the committee chair, who will submit a
recommendation to the director of teacher certification for a decision bv the
teacher education faculty. Appeals may be made on dismissal, denial of rein-
statement, or any issue related to master of education program requirements.
The student must submit a written petition to the Graduate Admissions and
Retention Committee requesting reconsideration of the decision. The student
will be notified when the petition will be brought before the teacher educa-
tion faculty and will have an opportunity to appear in person. The student
will be promptly notified in writing of the faculty's decision.
Licensure Programs (non-degree)
A student with a baccalaureate degree who is seeking teacher licensure must
be admitted to the initial licensure graduate program. The student can prepare
for licensure by completing courses that lead to a M.Ed, degree or bv com-
pleting a carefully planned licensure program that does not result in a degree.
The Miller Analogies Test or Graduate Record Examination is waived for stu-
dents only seeking licensure and not the degree. All students pursuing degree
completion must meet candidacy requirements noted above. Graduation and
completion of the Milligan program of study does not guarantee licensure.
Milligan College cannot recommend for licensure anv teacher candidate who
has failed to meet minimum passing Tennessee approved scores on all
required PRAXIS II tests and subtests.
Special Enrollment
This status is designed for students whose goal is to be accepted into the
M.Ed, program as degree seeking, licensure onlv, or additional endorsement
but do not meet the admissions standards (e.g. youthful college GPA or
incomplete admission file). This status enables a student to enroll for graduate
credit, but it does not guarantee that such credit will be counted twoard
degree/licensure objectives. Upon completion of special arrangements made
by the M.Ed. Graduate Admissions and Retention Committee, the student
may re-enter the admissions process. The Committee requires at least condi-
tional admission status for the student to be licensure seeking. When the
M.Ed. Graduate Admissions and Retention Committee have reclassified a stu-
dent in special enrollment status to condition or unconditional admission at
Milligan College, a maximum of nine semester hours of special enrollment
credit may be counted toward a degree objective unless otherwise approved
by the Committee. Students enrolled under this special status are not eligible
to receive federal financial aid.
Licensure Examinations (PRAXIS II)
Students who have not taken the PRAXIS II "Principles of Learning and
Teaching" and appropriate Specialty Area Examinations must complete these
examinations during their program(s) of study. Due to limited annual test
dates, students are urged to complete required testing as early as possible in
their programs of study. Based upon the assumption that academic content
has already been mastered in the student's baccalaureate degree program, it is
recommended that all required Specialty Area Examinations be completed no
later than November. Milligan College cannot recommend licensure for any
candidate who has failed to attain Tennessee approved scores on all required
licensure tests. Candidates will not be considered program completers until
minimum scores have been attained on all required licensure tests. A passing
grade will not be awarded in EDUC 560 Advanced Capstone Seminar until all
minimum scores are met. Failure to pass the Capstone Seminar will also delay
graduation until acceptable test scores are achieved.
In accordance with the United States Confess in the reauthorization of Title II of the
Higher Education Act, the Milligan College Teacher Education Program reports PRAX-
IS II pass rates for 2003-2004 program completers. 'Sinety-eight percent of tbefify-six
students passed all the Praxis II exams they took for initial teacher licensure.
Aggregate pass rates for 2003-2004 were:
Professional Knowledge 98%
Academic Content 95%
Other Content Area 100%
Special Teaching Populations 100%
Transfer Credit
A maximum of six semester hours of graduate credit in acceptable areas of
study may be considered by the Graduate Admissions and Retention
Committee for transfer from other approved institutions to the Milligan
College M.Ed, degree program.
Enrollment of Undergraduates in Graduate Courses or
Graduate Students in Undergraduate Courses
Graduate students or undergraduate students at the junior and senior level
may choose to take courses at the graduate or undergraduate level in areas
which are comparable and are supported by the students' academic adviser.
Time Limits for Completion of Requirements
A graduate student in the M.Ed, program must complete all degree require-
ments within a six-year period. A successful appeal of this limitation may
result in an extension of one, two, or three semesters granted bv the teacher
education faculty upon the recommendation of the student's graduate adviser
and the director of teacher education.
Grade Requirements for Graduation
Students must achieve a 3.00 overall grade point average on required course
work to be eligible for graduation. The minimum grade for all graduate pro-
gram course work is C-. No more than two grades below B- can be counted
toward graduation requirements.
Research Project
Students complete a research project that begins in Education 511 Research
Methods in Education. The project features action research related to the
school setting of the internship assignment. Research topics are developed
collaboratively with Milligan faculty and partner school personnel. Designated
checkpoints are established for students to report on their research projects.
Results of the research are presented in a seminar near the end of the stu-
dent's graduate program.
Internship
Graduate students in initial licensure programs must complete EDUC 551
Internship I and EDUC 552 Internship II. This two-semester practicum in
teaching, assessment, and classroom management provides sustained super-
vised experience in classrooms of community partner schools, working direct-
ly with master teachers as mentors. Intern experience placements will be made
with parmer school systems located near Milligan College in order to maintain
proper supervision levels and the integrity of our Teacher Education
Program. Placement in at least two grade levels is required for each licensure
area. Students are not eligible for placement in the internship until prerequi-
site academic content and methodology courses are completed. The intern-
ship experience is also evaluated by Milligan College and school system per-
milligan college academic catalog • 2005-06 • www.milligan.edu
80 education (M.Ed.)
sonnel using the Tennessee "Frameworks" evaluation instrument. As such,
this rear of "apprenticeship" is counted as the first rear of teaching experi-
ence toward professional licensure status in Tennessee. Each student must
also complete a co-requisite advanced capstone seminar (EDUC 560) during
each semester of the internship. A critical component of the capstone semi-
nars is the verification of program outcomes through successful completion
of the portfolio and all required licensure examinations. Modest stipends
often accompanv the internship experience.
Graduate Course Load
The normal course load for full-time students in the M.Ed, program is nine
to twelve hours per semester. In certain cases, the dean and the director of
teacher education may approve a fifteen-hour load for exceptional students.
The maximum course load per four-week summer session is 6 hours.
Six Curricula
In addition to the core courses listed below, the six curricula that lead to the
Mid. degree and initial licensure include the early childhood program, ele-
mentary program, middle grades program, the secondarv program, the special
education program, and the K-12 specialty programs in phvsical education,
theatre, or music These programs require 45 to 4~ hours of graduate credit.

Advanced degree
The M.Ed, advanced program is designed for licensed teachers who teach at
the early childhood, elementary, middle grades, or secondary level and who
wish to develop professionally. The advanced program increases both the
quality and quantity of the educadonal experiences for teachers in profession-
al educadon. Students may finish the 36-hour advanced degree program in
two years, including fall, spring, and summer courses. Students may also
choose to extend course work beyond the typical two-year period.
The advanced degree master of education program supports the following
goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to read
and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and effective-
ly, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts and the
natural and social sciences, and to understand a significant body of
material in their major fields of study.
■ Students will demonstrate social responsibility in numerous ways, such
as serving in churches, on the mission field (domestic and foreign), and
with social agencies; mentoring, nurturing, and protecting others; and
displaying increased understanding of and experience with other cul-
tures.
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through awareness of
health issues, appreciation for both the arts and sciences, stewardship of
resources, and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career
or profession.
Student outcomes for the advanced licensure program are based upon the fol-
lowing principles of the National Board for Professional Teacher Standards
(NBPTS): (1) Teachers are committed to learning; (2) Teachers know the sub-
jects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students; (3) Teachers are
responsible for managing and monitoring student learning; (4) Teachers think
systematically about their practice and learn from experience; (5) Teachers are
members of learning communities; (6) Teachers combine Christian values,
knowledge, and interpersonal skills to reflect the attributes of a Christian edu-
cator, ensuring maximum group and individual learning.
The program integrates theory, action research, and reflective practice.
Courses are typically taught in school facilities in the community by Milligan
faculty members and participating partner school master teachers and admin-
istrators. Program outcomes are based upon National Board for Professional
Teacher Standards (NBPTS) and are documented in professional portfolios.
An important feature of the program is mentorship of participants by
NBPTS certified teachers from the community and region, who will facilitate
portfolio development.
The 36 credit hour advanced master of education program consists of a 24
credit hour core and 12 elective credits. Participants may also add an addition-
al endorsement concurrent with their enrollment in the program. Additional
endorsements may require more than twelve elective credits, however.
The program of study is offered in early childhood education,
elementary/middle grades education, and secondary education cohorts. Core
course work is scheduled in six-credit-hour blocks of instruction for four
consecutive fall and spring semesters.
Program Characteristics and Curriculum
Application, admission, and retention policies and procedures for the
advanced degree program arc parallel to those noted above tor the initial
licensure M.Ed, program. Comprehensive examination procedures are also
parallel. The advanced degree curriculum consists of core courses, research,

French
Area of Humane Learning
The French program supports the following goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to read
and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and effective-
ly, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts. . . .
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through . . . appreciation
for the arts . . . and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding
career or profession.
The French program emphasizes the four language skills of listening, speak-
ing, reading, and writing. While the primary focus is on developing competen-
cy in communication, the secondary French licensure program and the
French minor provide a foundation in the literature and culture of the coun-
try. Graduates may pursue careers in teaching, in translating and interpreting
(with additional study), in the tourism and hospitality industry, or in the diplo-
matic services. French is a valuable asset in international business, in interna-
tional agencies (such as the International Red Cross), and in the fashion
industry.

Human Performance
and Exercise Science
Area of Education
The human performance and exercise science program supports the follow-
ing goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to
read and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and
effectively, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts
and the natural and social sciences, and to understand a significant body
of material in their major fields of study.
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through awareness of
health issues, appreciation for both the arts and sciences, stewardship of
resources, and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career
or profession.
■ Students will participate in the activities of a healthy lifestyle such as
intramurals, intercollegiate sports, musical and theatrical groups, student
clubs, student government, and other campus-sponsored extracurricular
endeavors, in preparation for life-long participation in similar activities.
Human performance and exercise science provides a holistic, scholarly
approach to the study of human movement. Structural and functional aspects
of movement efficiency, responses of the body to sport and exercise, and
issues of health-related fitness and wellness are studied. A series of core
courses prepares students for careers in physical education, fitness and well-
ness, or exercise science.
Students may choose from three emphases based on their career goals or
plans for graduate study. The skills and knowledge gained through the human
performance and exercise science program allow students to pursue jobs in
school, community, or industrial settings and provide a springboard into vari-
ous graduate programs, including physical therapy, occupational therapy and
athletic training.
Teacher licensure in physical education (K-12) is optional. Additional courses
required for licensure include EDUC 150, 152, 455, and 460 and PSYC 253.
Approval to student teach is granted to students who have been fully admit-
ted to the professional level of the teacher education program and who main-
tain eligilibity at that level. In addition to meeting established minimum grade
point averages and Tennessee-approved PPST scores, approval to student
teach requires:
1. Maintaining a minimum overall 2.75 grade-point average
2. Earning a minimum grade of C- in all required teacher
education courses in the program of study
3. Obtaining liability insurance
4. Verification of CPR and/ or first aid proficiency
5. Documentation of emerging teaching competencies in a
portfolio
6. Positive review by the Admission and Retention Committee.

98 humanities
Humanities
Area of Humane Learning
The humanities major supports the following goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to
read and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and
effectively, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts....
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through . . . appreciation
for the arts . . . and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding
career or profession.
The purpose of the major in humanities is to allow students to pursue an
interdisciplinary course of study. Although the major is not structured as a
prevocational course, it does provide a broad undergraduate education from
which a student can move into teaching or into several graduate programs
including law. It focuses upon the great ideas that have shaped history and
created contemporary civilizations.
Graduates with a major in humanities will demonstrate the ability to (1) plan,
create, and carry out an interdisciplinary major in the humanities designed to
meet individual interests and ccreer goals; (2) design and carry out an exten-
sive interdisciplinary research or creative project under the guidance of a fac-
ulty committee recruited by the student; (3) make connections between aca-
demic disciplines and between those disciplines and their Christian faith.
Humanities major - B.A. (24 hrs)
Requirements for the humanities major are 24 hours of junior and senior
level course work, including at least three hours of Humanities 490, and
approved courses from among the disciplines of history, literature, philoso-
phy, fine arts, foreign language, and Bible. A few selected 200 level courses
have also been approved for inclusion in this major; the humanities advisers
have a listing of the specific courses. The humanities major is available only
as a Bachelor of Arts degree; therefore, foreign language through the inter-
mediate level is required.
The humanities major offers specialization in one or more of the following
fields: literature, history, fine arts, foreign language (Spanish or French
only), and Bible. With advisement, this major may satisfy the better part of
the "two concentrations" required for middle grades licensure.
Each student who selects a major in humanities works with an adviser, usual-
ly the Director of Humanities, to design a program to meet the needs and
desires of the individual student. The student working with an advisory com-
mittee plans the HUMN 490 course.
Students with a humanities major are encouraged to fulfill requirements for a
minor from the disciplines of Bible, English, fine arts, foreign language, history, phi-
losophy, or educational studies. However, students who choose a minor in other
fields (or who choose not to do a minor) may still select a major in humani-
ties. There is no humanities minor.

missions 103
Missions
Area of Biblical Learning
Missions service to the global church has always been central to the educa-
tional mission and purpose of Milligan College, whether that service takes
place locally or in more distant regions of the world. For persons whose pri-
mary commitment is to the mission mandate of the church, the College "pro-
vides opportunities for education in Bible . . ." which are "shaped by a
Christian world view."
The emphasis in missions is direcdy tied to the following College objectives
as it 1) strengthens students in their "Positive, Personal Christian Faith That
Jesus is Lord and Savior" through class studies and interactions with the
College community; 2) deepens their "Commitment to Follow the Teachings
of the Christian Scripture in One's Personal and Social Ethics" by challenging
them to play a personal role in responding to the missions mandate of the
church; 3) cultivates their "Capacity to Recognize and Assume Responsibility
in Society" when they encounter missionaries on furlough via the College's
Visiting Missionary program, participate in short-term missions trips, com-
plete the required internship, and in other ways encounter the needs of the
world; and 4) refines their "Knowledge, Meaning, and Application of Sound
Scholarship" when they examine and analyze both their faith and their knowl-
edge of the world via classes and more informal campus activities.
The course of missions study at Milligan College is designed primarily to pre-
pare people for missions' leadership ministry in the church. For this reason,
its strength has long resided in its interdisciplinary structure, offering students
a wide diversity of missions options via examples from church history, more
contemporary situations, and internship placements. The emphasis is a part of
the Bible major since an understanding of the universe and one's own place
in it is predicated upon an understanding of God's purposes as revealed in
the scriptures. However, because effective missionary ministry also entails an
understanding of human nature, missions study at Milligan College incorpo-
rates a solid foundation in the social sciences. It is this unique combination of
the two disciplines — Bible and sociology — which comprises the core of
Milligan's missions emphasis.
Milligan College expects those who graduate with a missions track to 1) be
prepared for service in a missions leadership role in the church; 2) be able, in
culturally appropriate ways, to prepare and preach sermons or teach lessons
which have solid scriptural content; 3) have a good foundation in biblical,
church historical, social, and practical studies for lifelong learning; 4) be well-
prepared to pursue seminary or graduate education; and 5) be a good
Christian example of a missions-minded student of scripture. Emphases of
spiritual dependence upon God, solid academic study including serious study
of the Bible and the social sciences and practices of both integrity and effec-
tiveness highlight the lives of those persons who complete the missions
emphasis.
Bible major - B.A. (37-38 hrs)
Missions track
For information about the Bible major with the missions track, see "Bible."
The program of study in the Bible major with a missions emphasis leads to
the B.A. degree, which requires the srudy of a foreign language rhrough the
intermediate level. Because it is interdisciplinary in nature, the missions cur-
riculum includes both a major and a minor. Furthermore, students who wish
to add to this program of srudy may, in consultation with their faculty advis-
ers and respective faculty chairs, work toward a double major and/or a double
minor.

Nursing
Area of Nursing
The nursing major supports the following goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to read
and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and effective-
ly, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts and the
natural and social sciences, and to understand a significant body of
material in their major field of study.
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through awareness of
health issues, appreciation for both the arts and sciences, stewardship of
resources and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career or
profession.
The nursing science curriculum provides students with opportunities to devel-
op, test, and use nursing knowledge, skills, and rationale in a variety of com-
munity-based settings. Courses for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree
prepare students for worldwide professional nursing career opportunities and
for graduate study.
The graduate will be able to use critical thinking to: (1) Provide professional
nursing care using a synthesis of knowledge derived from relevant life experi-
ences; scientific, social, humane and Biblical learning; nursing theory and
research; (2) Institute developmentally appropriate nursing interventions
based on actual and potential degrees of client system stress reaction,
resources, goals, and anticipated outcomes; (3) Communicate therapeutically
with culturally diverse clients and client systems; (4) Initiate primary, second-
ary, or tertiary prevention interventions with culturally diverse clients and
client systems (individuals, families, groups, and communities) through the use
of the nursing process; (5) Incorporate professional, legal, and ethical nursing
standards based upon a Christian perspective; (6) Assume responsibility and
accountability for personal development and ongoing evaluation of the effec-
tiveness of own clinical nursing practice; (7) Contribute to the enhancement
of quality nursing and health care practices within a variety of settings; (8)
Evaluate research findings for their relevance and application to primary, sec-
ondary, or tertiary prevention interventions with clients or client systems; (9)
Use an open system approach to communication in collaborative, consulta-
tive, and interdisciplinary relationships.
Nursing studies build on the liberal arts and sciences tradition of Milligan
College. The following courses are required for nursing majors and fulfill des-
ignated components of the core curriculum: COMM 102, MATH 213, and
PSYC 252. BIOL 250, 251, and 280 are required prerequisites for the nursing

Master of Science in
Occupational Therapy
(M.S.O.T.)
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree program supports the
following goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate social responsibility in numerous ways, such
as serving in churches, on the mission field (domestic and foreign), and
with social agencies; mentoring, nurturing, and protecting others; and
displaying increased understanding of and experience with other cul-
tures.
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to read
and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and effective-
ly, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts and the
natural and social sciences, and to understand a significant body of
material in their major fields of study.
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through awareness of
health issues, appreciation for both the arts and sciences, stewardship of
resources, and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding career
or profession.
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree program promotes
integration and utilization of theory and practice in the art and science of
occupational therapy and prepares students to meet the entry-level standards
of the American Occupational Therapy Association.
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree program is designed
for students who have an earned bachelor's degree and who have completed
the prerequisite requirements for admission to the program. Baccalaureate
degrees can be in a variety of academic areas, some of which include human
performance and exercise science, human development, sociology, biology,
and psychology.
Accreditation
The occupational therapy program at Milligan College is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE), a divi-
sion of The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at
4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220. Their
phone number is 301-652-AOTA. Graduates of the program will be eligible
to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist
administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy
(NBCOT). Beginning January 1, 2007, occupational therapy educational pro-
grams will only be accredited at the post baccalaureate degree level.
After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an
Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, most states require
licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the
results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. (Applicants should note
that previous conviction of a felony may affect a graduate's ability to sit for
the NBCOT certification examination or attain licensure.) One hundred per-
cent of graduates from Milligan College's MSOT program have found
employment in the field of occupational therapy or an occupational therapy-
related position.
Goals
The following goals are expected upon completion of the professional cur-
riculum and arise directly from the missions of the College and the profes-
sional program and from the program's philosophy. By the time of graduation
from this curriculum, the student should: (1) Demonstrate professional-level
competencies necessary for practice as an occupational therapist in health care
and human service delivery systems; (2) Apply accepted principles of scientif-
ic inquiry to the study of problems in health and human service delivery; (3)
Demonstrate the management skills necessary for the service delivery of
occupational therapy; (4) Demonstrate professional and caring attitudes and
values consistent with the practice of occupational therapy; (5) Assume a
leadership role in advancing the field of occupational therapy.
Financial Information
Tuition is $460 per semester hour for the 2005-2006 school year. A non-
refundable application fee of $30 is required with the application. For infor-
mation regarding financial aid, please refer to the financial aid section of the
catalog.
Library
The P.H. Welshimer Library supports the program by providing access to
over 600 scholarly journals including the leading journals in occupational ther-
apy. Numerous electronic databases (Psychology Abstracts, Sociology
Abstracts, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) are
also available. In addition to the Welshimer Library, students and faculty have
access to the Occupational Therapy Program Professional Resource Center,
and the libraries of Emmanuel School of Religion, East Tennessee State
University (main campus and medical school), and the Holston Associated
Libraries, Inc. (HAL).
HAL consists of Milligan and five additional libraries in the region. The com-
puter system displays in each library the holdings of all six libraries in a
shared catalog. Due dates are shown for materials that are checked out of
each library. Materials are readily lent among the libraries. Many additional
features of the system enhance information exchange and resource sharing.
Through these agreements, Milligan students have access to many materials
beyond the considerable holdings of the Welshimer Library. Further, mem-
bership in the Southeastern Library Network provides interlibrary loan access
to the holdings of thousands of additional libraries worldwide.
Professional Resource Center
The Professional Resource Center houses an extensive collection of evalua-
tive instruments, videotapes, and treatment equipment. A computer cluster
and workspace where students can explore Internet resources, perform data
analysis for research projects, and produce multimedia presentations is part of
the Center. The Resource Center is available to therapists in the community as
well as the students of the program.

occupational therapy (M.S.O.T.) 115
Curriculum and Course Sequence
The 80-hour curriculum includes course work in three essential components:
basic skills, the occupational therapy process, and capstone experiences. The
first component builds on the student's previous undergraduate education by
providing applied science courses along with an introduction to the profes-
sion of occupational therapy. The second component is the core of the cur-
riculum and includes courses about the study of occupation, normal life span
development, and wellness with integration of the major theories and practice
methods of occupational therapy. These courses are completed primarily dur-
ing the second semester of the first year and the first semester of the second
year. The final component of the curriculum is designed to facilitate the
refinement of the student's critical thinking and entry-level occupational dier-
apy clinical skills. The student is expected to integrate previously acquired
knowledge into efficient and effective critical thinking. It is during this phase
of die curriculum that the student completes a minimum of six months of
clinical fieldwork or internship.
In addition, the student is expected to complete either an original research
project or an individual master's thesis.
The courses and the clinical experiences are designed to develop the knowl-
edge and skills of the highest national standards. The teaching faculties are
dedicated professionals prepared to offer applied science and skills courses at
the advanced level.

Pre-Professional
Programs
(Medical and Law students)
The pre-medical and pre-dental programs at Milligan College are highly com-
petitive and quite variable, depending upon the student's choice of major and
minor. Milligan College graduates have generally been successful in obtaining
admission to medical and dental schools throughout the nation. Additional
information may be obtained from the pre-medical and pre-dental advisers.
Milligan College does not recommend or offer a major in "pre-law" as such.
This stand is in keeping with both the broad educational philosophy of
Milligan College and the philosophy expressed by the Statement of the
Association of American Law Schools on Prelegal Education. American law
schools do not encourage the undergraduate student to "learn the law," but
rather stress the necessity of the pre-law student's acquiring certain compre-
hensive skills, such as "comprehension and expression in words," "critical
understanding of human institutions and values," and the development of
"creative power of thinking." While a student planning for a specific phase of
the law (e.g., tax law) may find certain undergraduate majors or courses desir-
able (e.g., business or accounting), any solid academic major is equally accept-

Psychology
Area of Social Learning
The mission of the psychology major at Milligan College is related to the
objectives of the College. Students who pursue the study of psychology are
challenged to display sound scholarship in the field through their reading and
analyzing sources within the realm of psychology. The students should be
familiar with and able to communicate their familiarity and analyses clearly
and effectively. The students should be able to use this knowledge base in
psychology to appreciate areas of the Lord's creation and to understand the
inter-relatedness of all learning. Students of psychology should display a
sense of ministry through their knowledge of psychology and a willingness
to use their knowledge in service and ministry to others.
The specific objectives of the psychology major are:
■ When completing the program of study, students should be familiar
with the knowledge bases within the study of psychology. Examples of
these bases include, but are not limited to, lifespan development,
research methodology, statistical tools, personality, systems and history
of the field.
■ Students should be reading and appreciating research in the fields of
psychology at increasing levels of sophistication as the students
progress through the psychology program.
■ Students should be able to communicate in written and verbal media
their knowledge and comprehension of psychology.
■ Students should be able to generate research.
■ Students should develop a tolerance and appreciation of persons who
differ from themselves in culture, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age,
gender, and other characteristics.
The psychology curriculum emphasizes the principles and applications of
substantive psychological knowledge both as a natural science and as a social
science. The major and minor provide a broad background in psychology and
offer students the opportunities, if desired, to pursue specialization in an
interest area.
The field of psychology has been undergoing rapid change. New professional
opportunities are constantly evolving. In response to this change, students
may choose one of two emphases to fulfill the requirements for a degree in
psychology. The general psychology emphasis offers flexibility while also
ensuring that students have a broad understanding of the field and its appli-
cations. Students who plan to pursue teaching licensure or careers in areas
other than psychology (e.g., youth ministry) may find this emphasis appealing.
The pre-professional emphasis is designed to prepare students for post-
graduate education in psychology or related fields (e.g., occupational therapy).
Students who pursue this emphasis are required to demonstrate proficienq' in
research by completing an independent research project. In addition, students
choosing the pre-professional emphasis will learn about the available careers
in psychology and the kinds of graduate programs available. This is accom-
plished through both a specific course (PSYC 200) and the requirement of an
internship. Students are strongly encouraged to talk with their adviser before
selecting either of the two emphases.

cultural regions of the world, in that region. The CCCU international pro-
grams include the following: Australia Studies Centre; China Studies
Program; Latin American Studies Program; Middle East Studies Program;
Russian Studies Program; Uganda Studies Program. This experiential semes-
ter allows the diversity of cultures and nationalities to be seen without the fil-
ters which are in place seeing the diversity through the eyes of others-the
news media, the instructors' biases, parental thinking-or through the students'
own preconceptions. This internship experience provides a forum to listen to
persons of religious faiths, economic and educational levels, as well as politi-
cal and economic thinking different than those confronted in one's comfort
zone in the United States. Offering to be arranged. Sixteen semester hours.
PL&S 340b. CCCU American Studies Program - A study experience with
the American Studies Program under the auspices of the Council of
Christian Colleges and Universities. Founded in 1976, the American Studies
Program has served hundreds of students from member institutions as a
"Washington, D.C. campus." ASP uses Washington as a stimulating educa-
tional laboratory where collegians gain hands-on experience with an intern-
ship in their chosen field. Internships are tailored to fit the student's talents
and aspirations and are available in a wide range of fields. They also explore
pressing national and international issues in public policy seminars which are
issue-oriented, interdisciplinary, and led by ASP faculty and Washington pro-
fessionals. ASP bridges classroom and marketplace, combining biblical reflec-
tion, policy analysis, and real-world experience. Students are exposed to on-
the-job learning that helps them build for their future and gain perspective on
the calling of God for their lives. They are challenged in a rigorous course of
study to discover for themselves the meaning of Christ's lordship in putting
their beliefs into practice. The aim of the program is to help Council schools
prepare their students to live faithfully in contemporary society as followers
of Christ. Offering to be arranged. Sixteen semester hours.
PL&S 350. Poverty Experience - An experience for the student with an
agency typically in the Tri-Cities region which surrounds the College campus.
Examples of the agencies with which the student might be placed include the
Salvation Army, the Good Samaritan Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, the
Appalachian Sendee Project, the Johnson City Downtown Clinic, or a local
law enforcement agency or court system. However, this experience might be
gained in other locales which the student might propose. The format is work-
ing with those in ministry, social work, casework, and/or mental health occu-
pations which provide care to those who are in material and physical need-
lacking proper housing, food, safety, medical care, educational opportunities,
and support. The student spends ten hours weekly in the field. Offering to
be arranged. Six semester hours.
PL&S 400. Capstone Experience - A seminar in which the students and
faculty member(s) challenge one another through readings, experiences, dia-
logues, to develop a philosophy of ministry, a conviction of partnership, a
sense of Matthew 25:31 ff, in the relationships which Christians have with/to
their brothers and sisters who have been placed by education, family, society,
disability, etc., in a position of handicap in achieving what the world values
and finds attractive. This course challenges the student and the faculty to
face the problems of the world's downtrodden rather than, in the words of
Pink Floyd, turning away. Offered spring term each year. Three semester
hours.

Spanish 129
Spanish
Area of Humane Learning
The Spanish program supports the following goals of Milligan College:
■ Students will demonstrate sound scholarship through their ability to
read and think analytically and critically, to communicate clearly and
effectively, to evidence knowledge and competencies in the liberal arts.
■ Students will gain an enriched quality of life through . . . appreciation
for the arts . . . and preparation for graduate studies and a rewarding
career or profession.
The Spanish program emphasizes the four language skills of listening, speak-
ing, reading, and writing. While the primary focus is on developing compe-
tency in communication, the secondary Spanish licensure program and the
Spanish minor provide a foundation in the literature and culture of the
Spanish-speaking world. Graduates may pursue careers in teaching, in trans-
lating and interpreting (with additional study), in the tourism and hospitality
industry, or in the diplomatic services. Spanish is a valuable asset in interna-
tional business and in international agencies. In certain regions, Spanish is
necessary for elementary and high school teachers of all subject areas and for
social service careers.

worship leadership 131
Worship Leadership
Area of Biblical Learning
Few ministry roles have such an immediate impact on churches today as the
Worship Leader. Milligan College seeks to prepare people for such leadership
through a combination of biblical studies, historical awareness, general min-
istry preparation, and artistic skills. We believe that leading worship of God
through Jesus Christ demands the best of knowledge and ability, but also the
spiritual depth and integrity to help others worship "in spirit and truth."
Consequendy, this major is a combination of portions of the Bible major and
of music and fine arts. Students are encouraged to take more of the classes
in either discipline for additional benefit, but the combination in the require-
ments for this major will provide a good starting point and sufficient tools to
build a solid and lasting ministry.
This major clearly supports the mission of the college in that it prepares stu-
dents to "honor God through servant-leadership." It does that through aim-
ing direcdy toward several of the objectives: it is based on developing and
strengthening "a Positive, Personal Christian Faith that Jesus is Lord and
Savior"; it strongly emphasizes "A Commitment to Follow the Teachings of
the Christian Scripture" dtrough every facet of both ministry role and per-
sonal life; it urges the students by leadership in the local church to
"Recognize and Assume Responsibility in Society"; it promotes "Sound
Scholarship" through the combination of disciplines of study and improve-
ment of skills; it equips students for a professional career through a Christian
vocation, thereby preparing people to "Secure an Enriched Quality of Life";
and it leads toward a "Healthy Lifestyle" by full participation in the active life
of a local church and by using God-given talents direcdy in His service.
Worship leadership prepares a student to participate in the ministry staff of a
local church and lead Christian people in worship that is scripturally sound
and musically or artistically competent. By building on the basic education
received in this Milligan degree program, a student can appropriately develop
the worship and musical or artistic strengths of a church and personally func-
tion in other ministry roles if needed or desired. The liberal arts foundation
and the cross-emphasis in ministry focus provide an excellent platform on
which to stand and lead, or to continue to build more specialized leadership.
Milligan College expects those who graduate with a worship leadership major
to (1) be equipped to lead worship in a way that conveys the fullness of mind
and spirit before God - communicating with and for the current culture but
still retaining the strength of scriptural faith and Christian history; (2) be pre-
pared for service in a leadership role of ministry in the church and be able to
function as a part of a team/staff relationship; (3) be able to understand,
work with, and lead others in expressions of worship through musical, dra-
matic, and/ or visual arts; (4) be equipped to pursue seminary or graduate
education with a good preparation for that advanced study; and (5) provide a
good Christian example as a student of scripture and disciple of Jesus.
Emphases of spiritual dependence upon God, solid academic study, including
serious study of the Bible itself, and practices of both integrity and effective-
ness highlight this program of study.
The Worship Leadership major consists of four clusters of courses in Bible,
history, Christian ministry, and worship (see course requirements below).
Worship Leadership major - B.A.

BIBL 201 Jesus in the Gospels (3 hrs)
B1BL 211 Old Testament Images of God (3 hrs)

Applied study in music (2 hrs)
Participation in three semesters of music ensembles (1 V2 to 4 xh hrs)
THEA 242 Fundamentals of Acting, 340 Fundamentals of Directing,
OR 345 Theatre Workshop (3 hrs)
Additional electives pertinent to the student's interests and vocational objec-
tives, sufficient to reach a minimum of thirty-nine hours, are to be selected in
consultation with the student's faculty adviser.
The Worship Leadership major at Milligan leads to the B.A. degree, which
requires intermediate proficiency in a foreign language. Language proficiency
satisfies a general education requirement, not a requirement of the Worship
Leadership major. For further ministerial or biblical studies, Greek is strongly
recommended for the best study of the Bible.
Milligan offers two minors which are related to this major — the Worship
Ministry minor and the Music Ministry minor. For more information
about these minors, see "Worship Ministry" or "Music Ministry."

encouraging students to learn and practice servant-leadership in the process
of leading others in worship. Because worship should and does affect all of
life, this minor helps develop and practice "A Commitment to Follow the
Teachings of the Chriqriian Scripture in One's Personal and Social Ethics" and
"The Capacity to Recognize and Assume Responsibility in Society." And as a
holistic view of life recognizes our need for worship, this course of study
helps with "Participation in the Activities of a Healthy lifestyle."
Worship reflects the core of Christian faith and most churches see the need
to make their worship the best it can be. Churches need people, therefore,
who understand both the scriptural and historical significance of what is
done and said in times of worship. As important as good «sHH<t and talents are
in presenting public programs, the greater need is to know why we do what
we do and what we are expressing in the process. This calls for biblical and
historical awareness in order to respond faithfully to God's call to us as

as experienced in the Church for centuries. Staying contemporary in worship
is a must for people of each generation to participate meaningfully, but that

Youth Ministry
Area of Biblical Learning
As a part of "changing lives and shaping culture." vouth ministry is one of
the most strategic opportunities to make an impact on people and the world.
Beginning with "A Positive, Personal Faith that Jesus is Lord and Savior" this
major emphasis supports and implements "A Commitment to Follow the
Teachings of the Christian Scripture in One's Personal and Social Ethics."
Because the youth of today are so important now and will be the unques-
tioned leaders of tomorrow, youth ministry emphasizes the "Capacity to
Recognize and Assume Responsibility in Sodety." Classes focusing on biblical
and historical foundations promote "The Knowledge, Meaning, and
Application of Sound Scholarship" as do all the others that comprise this
major, and, because of the attention given to youth, there is considerable
emphasis on "Pamdpation in me Activities of a Healthy lifestyle." Youth
ministry fits well into the overall purpose and mission of Milligan College,
and the College provides excellent preparation for serving Jesus Christ
through ministry to youth.
The youth ministry track in ihe Bible major prepares people to lead in minis-
tering to and with young people, and that may indude those from early child-
hood up through early adulthood. Both youth ministers and children's minis-
ters will find this major effective in basic preparation for service, as will cam-
pus ministers, workers with various parachurch ministries such as camps,
youth organizations, evangelism efforts and many more. Because of the
strong foundation incorporated into this emphasis, people will have basic
preparation to move into other areas of ministry from a traditional role.
Milligan College expects those who graduate with a Bible major in a youth
ministry track to (1) be equipped to stay abreast of current changes in youth
culture and communicate effectively through all those changes; (2) be pre-
pared for service in a leadership role of ministry in the church and able to
function as part of a team/staff relationship; (3) have a good foundation in
biblical, church historical, and practical studies in order to prepare and deliver
sound teaching to youth and to continue in lifelong learning; (4) be equipped
to pursue seminary or graduate education with a good preparation for that
advanced study; and (5) provide a good Christian example as a student of
scripture. Emphases of spiritual dependence upon God, solid academic study,
including serious study of the Bible itself, and practices of both integrity and
effectiveness highlight this program of study.

The Milligan
Community
We distinguish those who hold some form of membership in the College as the "Milligan
Community. " Membership consists of six classifications: trustees, advisors, faculty, staff,
students, and alumni. The term "Community " thus refers not to a geographic or social
locality but rather to persons sustaining a relationship to one another through their member-
ship in the College. These persons are held together by a common heritage, by common
ideals, and by commitment to a common ultimate goal. Experience set in such a community
is productive of a common spirit, a deep affection, a mutual trust, and an enthusiasm in
discharging the responsibilities and enjoying the rewards incident to membership in the
College.
