Quotes From our Top Employers

State Farm has a longstanding relationship with Millikin hiring many interns and full-time students into our Enterprise Technology Department and many other departments within the company. Millikin’s Information Systems curriculum and specialized certificate programs align well with State Farm’s technology needs. Our intern pool is a key hiring source for our full-time needs, but we have hired many non-interns as well. Millikin students have been well prepared to join the workforce and are eager to stay engaged with the University through recruiting events, mentorships, mock interview days, and hosting students during visits to our State Farm campus.
