Because of this belief, we value our partnership with liberal arts departments in providing education courses, field experience, and co-advisors for our undergraduate secondary education students. This partnership also includes content specific preparation in Social Studies, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, World Languages, Math and Technology Education. EDFN also houses two MEd programs in Leadership for Teaching and Learning (LDTL) and Assessment, Curriculum, and Teaching (ACTE). Finally, in 2015, EDFN created the first doctoral program at Millersville, in partnership with Shippensburg University. The EdD program in Educational Leadership continues to matriculate a new cohort of students each year.
