Millersville University of Pennsylvania, commonly known as Millersville University (MU) or The Ville, is a public university in Millersville, Pennsylvania.

Founded in 1855 as the first Normal School in Pennsylvania, Millersville is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $20,231 average net price and relatively low $17,220 median debt make this one of the more affordable paths to a degree, but a 54% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish — worth asking hard questions about support systems and your own readiness before enrolling. Median earnings of $46,000 a decade out are modest but manageable given the debt load, making this a reasonable fit if you're cost-conscious and have a clear program in mind, particularly in education or the sciences where Millersville has established strength.
