The program in middle- level education is designed to provide the student with an in-depth knowledge of subject matter and pedagogy appropriate for all students, including those for whom English is a second language. The program also provides extensive and varied field experiences.

In addition, the student will complete a minimum of 12 credit hours in each of the three remaining content areas, a minimum of 27 credit hours in the Professional Core and 12 credit hours in student teaching.

The student who completes the middle-level program at Millersville University receives a Bachelor of Science in Education degree and may apply for a Pennsylvania Instructional I teaching certificate after successfully passing the MDLV Praxis requirements.
