Millsaps Honored, New Businesses Open

Millsaps One of Princeton Review's "Best"
The Princeton Review has picked Millsaps College in for its annual guide "The Best 373 Colleges." The list focuses on schools' academic quality and singles out Millsaps for its encouragement of classroom discussion. In addition to listing the school in the top 20 for encouraging discussion, the book also ranks Millsaps as a top-20 college for the amount of student interaction across races and classes.

"We are pleased to be named repeatedly to Princeton Review's 'Best' list," said Millsaps President Dr. Robert W. Pearigen said in a statement.

The college of 1,200 students also landed on Princeton Review's list of "Best Value" private colleges and universities earlier this year.
