Top Ranked Programs
Millsaps College's program mix centers on biological sciences, chemistry, and business — a portfolio anchored in the liberal arts tradition with particular strength in pre-professional pathways. Business Administration is the largest program with 35 graduates, followed by Biology, General, Psychology, General, Sociology, and Rhetoric and Composition/Writing Studies. The institution's program distribution reflects its identity as a selective private liberal arts college in the Southeast, with Business representing 24% of degrees, Social Sciences at 13%, and Arts at 5%. Business Administration leads the institution's earnings profile, with 35 graduates earning median 4-year earnings of $76,477. Accounting follows with 8 graduates earning $72,642 four years after enrollment [per the program-ranking methodology](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/). These outcomes reflect Millsaps College's strength in pre-professional and quantitative fields where graduates move directly into the workforce and see steady early-career earnings growth. The institution's dominant program families — Business, Social Sciences, and Arts — align with both liberal arts breadth and applied professional outcomes. Several programs in these families are grad-school-dependent pathways where four-year earnings undercount lifetime trajectory because graduates continue to medical school, graduate programs, or professional study. Others are high-mobility direct-to-workforce programs where four-year earnings reflect national labor-market outcomes. The [supply and demand for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) provides context for how Millsaps College's dominant program families align with regional and national labor-market demand.
