Thursday afternoon President Bill Greer held a press conference in the Cafeteria Annex, where he announced Milligan College’s plan to launch two new graduate programs this summer: Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership and Education Specialist.
After giving opening remarks, Greer welcomed Director of Elizabethton City Schools Dr. Corey Gardenhour to the podium.
“I’m so happy to be a Buffalo. I’m so happy that the college is rooted in quality and not quantity,” Gardenhour said.
The college’s Ed.D. and Ed.S. programs will “lead currently practicing teachers toward certification as school administrators in two years,” according to the college’s press release. The new graduate programs will also allow candidates to complete projects related to their coursework while working closely with a mentor.
