GRADUATE CATALOG 2017-2018. 7. INTRODUCTION. THE university . Innovation in education is the philosophy of Millersville university . Established in 1855, the university formally began offering master's degree programs in 1959, but prior to that time was involved in GRADUATE education for the Commonwealth. In 1982, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed Senate Bill 506, creating the State System of Higher Education, effective July 1, 1983. On that date, Millersville State College became Millersville university of Pennsylvania. From its mid-19th-century proportion of one building on seven-and-a-half-acres, Millersville university has grown to a 250-acre campus with more than 60 buildings.

7 The landscaped setting has a central pond set within lawns and gardens. The university 's modern research facilities, blended with Romanesque Revival structures and late-Victorian wooden frame houses, reflect its integration of contemporary and classical elements of education. Simultaneously innovative and traditional, this setting encourages close faculty-student relationships as an important component of academic and personal development. ACCREDITATION.
