First Doctoral Student in MU's History

Millersville University celebrated a historic moment when Matthew Campbell became the first doctoral student in the history of the University.  Campbell is enrolled in the new program to work on his Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership (Ed.D).  Through a partnership with Shippensburg University, the Ed.D is designed to provide school leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to implement programs to help children fully reach their academic potential. Originally approved by the Board of Governors in January, the Ed.D is the first Doctoral degree to be offered by Millersville, and was quickly followed by approval of a Doctorate of Social Work in March.  Millersville University’s strategic plan – Our Bold Path – aims to implement three doctoral programs in a three-year time period.

President John Anderson recently met with Campbell to discuss why he chose the new program –  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpUFrvi0_qw.

Congratulations to you, Matt, as MU’s first doctoral student and to all those who helped make the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership a reality, especially Dr. Tiffany Wright.
