Welcome International Students!

At Miller College we truly appreciate the cultural perspective and knowledge that global experience can bring to the classroom setting. Miller College welcomes such diversity and believes it will only enhance and enrich classroom discussions and learning.

Miller College is a quality, accredited senior level institution located in beautiful Battle Creek, Michigan. This means we offer junior and senior year degree–completion programs for students who have earned their first years of college credit elsewhere.

Unlike many larger colleges, Miller approaches students’ educational needs in a very non-traditional and personal way. Class sizes are small and expert faculty are always accessible to offer help and support. We pride ourselves in the seamless transfer of credits from other institutions and helping new students feel “at-home” immediately.
