After attending the University of Guelph in Ontario for her bachelor's degree in psychology and her master's degree in human development and human relations, Milhausen earned her Ph.D. at Indiana University, with a minor from the Kinsey Institute of Human Sexuality. She won the outstanding student research award from the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality in 2003.
