Millsaps College is delighted that you are interested in the many ways that
we can prepare you for a satisfying, profitable career serving others.
Why choose a health-related profession?
The medically related professions include many rapidly growing disciplines, which are appealing because of their numerous employment opportunities combined with challenging opportunities to help others. Particular opportunities lie amongst the elderly and low-income groups, and many underserved inner city and rural areas. Most of Mississippi, in fact, is underserved.
