St. Mary's College of Maryland, established in 1840, is an American public,[1][4][5] secular (non-religious) and co-educational four-year liberal arts college[1] located in St. Mary's City, Maryland.[2]
It is a public honors college,[5] and is one of only two colleges with this designation in the United States.[6] With about 2,000 enrolled students, the institution offers bachelor's degrees in 24 disciplines.[2] as well as a master's program and numerous certification programs.[7]
The college is located in St. Mary's City, Maryland[1][2] and shares much of its campus with Historic St. Mary's City, the site of Maryland's first colony and first capital. It is also the site of the fourth colony in British North America.
St. Mary's City is also considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America[8][9][10] because of the unique mandates establishing and governing the British colony that once stood there,[9][10] requiring religious tolerance.[9][10]
The internationally recognized Historic Archeology Field School[11][12] is jointly operated by St. Mary's College of Maryland and Historic St. Mary's City.[11][12] The campus and the rest of St. Mary's City combined are considered to be one of the premier archaeological sites in the United States.[11]
National rankings
In 2014, U.S. News and World Report, in its annual "Best College and Universities" report, ranked St. Marys College as "6th" in the nation under the category "Top Liberal Arts Public Schools" in the "Colleges" ranking (6th in the nation for Public Liberal Arts Colleges).[13]
In the same report, St. Marys College of Maryland was ranked 4th in the nation[14] under the category "Best Colleges for Veterans".[13]
31 degree programs and minors
St. Mary's College of Maryland offers over 31 different undergraduate degrees and minors, and it has a masters program in education.
See Academics (Modern day college)
School's role in researching and interpreting Maryland's founding history
However, in addition to this, since 1840, the school has been charged by the state in various capacities in researching,[15] interpreting and memorializing Maryland history at the site of Maryland's first colony and capitol,[15] St. Mary's City, Maryland,[15] which is also where the college is located.[15]
Historic Archeology Field School
In this capacity St. Mary's College of Maryland, in partnership with Historic St. Mary's City,[12][16][17] also runs the Historic Archeology Field School[12][16] which is an internationally recognized institution.[12] The field school has worked on over 300 archeological dig sites in the St. Mary's City area over the last 40 years.[12]
Special areas of archeological research and historical study
The school has a deep and multilayered relationship to the St. Mary's City area and it's historic landscape.
In its special role as a historical and archeological research institution charged with studying the founding history of Maryland, and charged by the State of Maryland with researching the history of the emergence of Democracy in Maryland, St. Mary's College of Maryland studies the following historic events that occurred in the area of St. Mary's City, Maryland and the periods in which they occurred.
This also includes premier museums on and near campus, highlighting archeology and area history related to all of the above.
School's inspirational historic grounding
This research also includes a special focus and draws inspiration from local milestone historical events related to the struggle for establishment of democracy in Maryland,[15] in many of its aspects,[15] including:
- The early development of representative legislature in Maryland.[15]
- The historic struggle for the establishment of religious freedom in America.[15]
- The historic beginnings of the quest for Women's suffrage in America[15]
- The historic struggle for minority rights in America[15]
- The beginnings of freedom of the press in the Southern colonies[15]

St. Mary's College of Maryland is located on the original site of Maryland's first colony, St. Mary's City,[12] which was also the first capital of Maryland[18] and is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America.[8][10]
Colonial St. Mary's City was actually only a town and at its peak had between 500 and 600 residents. However as the colony quickly expanded and settlements spread throughout the Eastern part of what is now Maryland, the town remained the capitol and representatives would travel from all over the colony to participate in the Maryland General Assembly, the colony's first legislative body.
The Colony was founded under a mandate by the colonial proprietor, Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore of England, that the new settlers engage in religious tolerance of each other.[9][10][19] The first settlers were both Protestant and Catholic during a time of persecution of Catholics.[19] This mandate was unprecedented at the time, as England had been wracked by religious conflict for centuries.
The following history passed through times of new ideas, times of setbacks, long periods of oppression and times of hope, liberation and renewal; beginning in the 1600s and running through the Civil War period through the 20th Century and up to present days.
The school evolved in response to many milestone events, and in some cases the school contributed to history as well as being influenced by it:

Academics (modern day college)
Public honors college core curriculum
St. Mary's College is a public honors college.[5][20] It is one of only two such Public Honors Colleges in the United States. As a part of this, it maintains a core honors-level curriculum that all of its students, regardless of major, must complete.
Non-religious and coeducational
The school is non-religious (secular) and has been since it was started in 1840 (The name St. Mary's commemorates Maryland's first colony, "St. Mary's City", which once stood where the college stands now).
The school has been coeducational (both male and female students) since 1949.
The St. Mary's Way
The college community is guided by a set of principles called "The St. Mary's Way".[21][22] These principles set a tone for a supportive, caring environment where a passion for curiosity, knowledge and discovery can occur.[21][22] It also talks about the importance of making a difference in the world, informed by the natural beauty and historic meaning of the St. Mary's City area.[21][22] The St. Mary's Way also sets a tone for integrity and tolerance of differences in viewpoint, background and experience.[21][22]
The text of the St. Mary's Way is as follows:[22][21]
The St. Mary's Way
St. Mary's College of Maryland lies in a setting of natural beauty and historic meaning which enhances our ability to reflect on our lives in an increasingly complex, technological, and interdependent world. As a member of St. Mary's College of Maryland, I accept the St. Mary's Way and agree to join in working with others to develop this College as a community:
- Where people respect the natural environment and the tradition of tolerance which is the heritage of this place
- Where people cultivate a life-long quest for disciplined learning and creativity
- Where people take individual responsibility for their work and actions
- Where people foster relationships based upon mutual respect, honesty, integrity, and trust
- Where people are engaged in an ongoing dialogue that values differences and the unique contributions of others' talents, backgrounds, customs, and world views
- Where people are committed to examining and shaping the functional, ethical values of our changing world
- Where people contribute to a spirit of caring and an ethic of service.
By choosing to join this community, I accept the responsibility of helping to build on its past heritage, of living its ideals, and contributing to its future.[21][22]

African-American student enrollment
African-American student enrollment at St. Mary's College dropped in recent years. Rising tuition and need for more state funding for first generation to college students has been cited as a key reason. This includes a drop from 14% African American student enrollment in 1992[42] to just 7% African-American student enrollment in 2013[43]
The school has been working in many areas to improve enrollment and has numerous financial aid programs for minorities, and is reaching out to African-American communities across the state. The schools goal is to greatly increase African-American student enrollment.
In the spring of 2014 a report shows the African-American student population having increased to 8%.
Increase in African-American faculty
At one point in the early 1980s, there were no African-American faculty at the school.
- As of 2010 there were 69 African-American faculty at the school,[44] including 57 full-time and 12 part-time professors and instructors.[44]
2014: New President
The school's new President, Doctor Tuajuanda Jordan, is also a person of African-American heritage.
Effort to increase African-American student enrollment
Research has shown that, due to the relatively recent history of segregation in the United States, available funding for "first generation to college" students affects African-American populations disproportionally—Many news sources mention that adequate funding for first generation college students is actually one of the very biggest issues behind lagging African-American enrollment—elite liberal arts college's which are viewed by the state of Maryland as St. Mary's College's competitors, have been described in the news media as having traditionally had bigger endowments and could offer more scholarships.
In response to this concern, the school has been doing considerable work to increase African-American enrollment at St. Mary's College:
- The school has worked to improve its outreach to minority students throughout the state.
- Numerous financial aid programs are available through the financial aid office regardless of student background as well as information on accessing minority scholarships and grants.[45]
- First generation students of all backgrounds have numerous funding options available through the college.[45] The college also has information on additional sources.[45]
- The school just received a top national ranking for on-campus race and class relations. It has been ranked 12th in he Nation for positive race and class relations on campus. This is based on student reporting that shows their feelings about relationships between student on campus of different races and economic classes (family of origin income).
- News articles report that African-American students on campus have a strong, active and supportive community.
- The school has several programs that can assist minority students seeking support.
- To be generally more competitive, the school secured a lowering of its tuition from the state in 2014.
Cost of school
St. Mary's College of Maryland, which is public, is unusual in that it competes mostly with elite private colleges. The state of Maryland reported this year that St. Mary's College of Maryland costs $30,000 less as compared to the average cost of elite private colleges in obtaining a college degree.
Looking at tuition in March 2014, Kiplinger ranked St. Mary's College of Maryland as one of the "Best Values in Colleges".[46]
The school provides millions of dollars in financial aid and extensive help to students in securing financial assistance.
National ranking for "Best schools for veterans"
In 2014, U.S. News and World Report, in its annual "Best College and Universities" report, ranked St. Marys College 4th in the nation[14] under the category "Best Colleges for Veterans" in the "Colleges" ranking[13]
