National trends have identified adult learners and working professionals as the fastest growing student population in higher education. In recognition of these trends, Millersville University announced the establishment of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies during its celebration of the 50th anniversary for graduate studies on Oct. 22.  The new college addresses the essential need for an improved structure and a higher profile for Millersville's graduate and professional programs. It was established in order to serve the regional economy's workforce needs with highly qualified professionals, and to ensure the future of public education at the post-baccalaureate level.

"Millersville University has high-quality graduate programs, a talented and dedicated graduate faculty, and a strong sense of purpose and enthusiasm," says Dr. Victor DeSantis, dean of graduate studies and research. "We have come far in our first 50 years of graduate education and our future is very bright."
