Milligan College students now have additional options to shorten the
time required to earn both bachelor’s and professional degrees.
Milligan has announced new dual degree and affiliation agreements with two Tennessee colleges, the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis and Union University’s School of Pharmacy in Jackson. The college has similar agreements with the pharmacy schools at East Tennessee State University and Mercer University in Atlanta.
“Milligan students can complete three years of the allied health science course work and then, if accepted, begin pharmacy or optometry school,” said Milligan Interim Academic Dean Dr. Garland Young. “Successful completion of one year in either of these graduate programs would in turn satisfy the requirements for a bachelor of science degree from Milligan, allowing students to complete a bachelor’s degree at Milligan and a doctorate from an affiliate program in as few as seven years.”
The affiliation agreements also allow Milligan students who meet specific criteria to receive a guaranteed interview at these schools if they meet the conditions of the agreement, including prerequisite coursework, as well as GPA and standardized testing requirements.
“We are excited to partner with Union and the Southern College of Optometry as there are shared benefits,” said Milligan President Dr. Bill Greer. “Milligan students who aspire to enter these graduate programs will receive a competitive boost in the admissions process. In turn, these colleges benefit from the quality applicants Milligan prepares with the foundational knowledge needed for their success.”
