The College of Professional Studies (CPS) is committed to practiced performance in the development of professionals who engage in active learning to acquire knowledge. This performance learning advances scholarly endeavors and supports the development of partnerships within communities.

Dedicated to high personal achievement in professional fields, life-long learning, and the promotion of excellence in higher education, CPS students enjoy the combination of a dynamic liberal arts curriculum and professional academic core courses. These curricula are designed to advance the missions of the College of Professional Studies and the University.

The CPS graduates from the School of Exercise Science & Sport, the School of Education, and the School of Nursing shape the future of the professions in which they practice. They are able to do that because, as students, they were out performing their professional skills in the community. Consequently, our graduates outperform in the marketplace. Practiced performance is one of Millikin’s and the College of Professional Studies’ hallmarks.
