Millersville University
Millersville University was established in 1855 as an institution for the training of qualified teachers. Originally known as the Lancaster County Normal School, it was renamed the Millersville State Normal School in 1859. Millersville has the distinction of being the first normal school in Pennsylvania. In order to provide students authentic classroom experiences on campus, the Model School was created in the late 1890s. This school continued to provide pre-service teaching experiences for students until the late 1960s. After becoming Millersville State Teacher’s College in 1927, the college began offering baccalaureate degrees. With the change in emphasis from teacher training to liberal arts, the name was changed to Millersville State College in 1959 and in 1983, Millersville University.
