- School Information
- "Founded in 1871, Shippensburg University has a long and proud history centered on serving the educational, social and cultural needs of our students. We were the first normal school in Pennsylvania to be chartered as a state teachers college and the first to be accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. We are now a comprehensive university, offering bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs in our College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education and Human Services and John L. Grove College of Business." The university has over 100 undergraduate programs across its 3 colleges, as well as three doctoral programs.
