Millsaps College Named "Best Buy" in 2011 Fiske Guide

Millsaps College is one of only 24 private colleges and the only college in Mississippi named a "Best Buy" in the 2011 edition of The Fiske Guide to Colleges. The rating is based on reasonable prices, high academic ratings and quality of student life on campus.

"Millsaps offers students a good value for an exceptional education. Our faculty are nationally recognized and our class size on average is 10 students to one faculty member. Students have the opportunity to get to know their instructors on a personal level that will further their academic success," said David Davis, interim vice president and dean of the college.

The list includes 45 colleges, 21 public and 24 private, as Best Buys. The Fiske Guide to Colleges by Edward B. Fiske features more than 300 of the country's best colleges and universities. The guide describes schools passed on topics such as academics, student life and financial aid.

Millsaps has been consistently recognized by the guidebook since its inception in 1982. In the past, the guide has given Millsaps high marks for its Heritage Program, an interdisciplinary approach to world culture, and premedical summer research fellowships. In 2008 the guidebook said, "what differentiates the school is its focus on scholarly inquiry, spiritual growth and community service."
