St. Mary's College of Maryland, established in 1840, is an American public,[1][3][4] 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,[4] and is one of only two colleges with this designation in the United States.[5] 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.[6]

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[7][8][9] because of the unique mandates establishing and governing the British colony that once stood there,[9][10] requiring religious tolerance.[9][11]

The internationally recognized Historic Archeology Field School[12][13] is jointly operated by St. Mary's College of Maryland and Historic St. Mary's City.[12][13] 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.[12]

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,[16] interpreting and memorializing Maryland history at the site of Maryland's first colony and capitol,[17] St. Mary's City, Maryland,[18] which is also where the college is located.[19]

Historic Archeology Field School

In this capacity St. Mary's College of Maryland, in partnership with Historic St. Mary's City,[20][21][13] also runs the Historic Archeology Field School[22][13] which is an internationally recognized institution.[13] The field school has worked on over 300 archeological dig sites in the St. Mary's City area over the last 40 years.[13]

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,[23] in many of its aspects,[24] including:

  • The early development of representative legislature in Maryland.[25]
  • The historic struggle for the establishment of religious freedom in America.[26]
  • The historic beginnings of the quest for Women's suffrage in America[27]
  • The historic struggle for minority rights in America[28]
  • The beginnings of freedom of the press in the Southern colonies[29]

History

The first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, a Catholic during a time of persecution of Catholics who won the original grant for the Maryland Colony and who also envisioned it as a place of religious tolerance.[30]
Small painted icon, dating to between circa 1615 and circa 1620, Walters Museum, Baltimore.

St. Mary's College of Maryland is located on the original site of Maryland's first colony, St. Mary's City,[13] which was also the first capital of Maryland[31] and is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America.[9][32]

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.[33][9][34] The first settlers were both Protestant and Catholic during a time of persecution of Catholics.[34] This mandate was unprecedented at the time, as England had been wracked by religious conflict for centuries.

The following history passes through times of new ideas, times of setbacks and 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, in some cases it contributed to history as well as being influenced by it.

African-American student enrollment

African-American student enrollment at St. Mary's College dropped in recent years.

This includes a drop from 14% African American student enrollment in 1992[59] to just 7% African-American student enrollment in 2013[60]

The school has been working in many areas to improve enrollment and has numerous financial aid programs for minorities, and is reaching out in many African communities across the state. The schools goal is to greatly increase African-American student enrollment.

St. Mary's College's new President, Doctor Tuajuanda Jordan, who is a person of African-American heritage, was inaugurated in 2014.

Two top African-American administrators were also appointed. The school already has many African-American faculty members.

Campaign to increase African-American student enrollment

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-- Ivy league schools (Harvard, Yale, Princeton etc) which are St. Mary's Colleges competitors, have bigger endowment and can offer more scholarships.

The state of Maryland has been faulted for underfunding programs for first generation college students, which constitutes a high percentage of African-American students. However recently the school has secured more funding.

The state, of Maryland helped to lower St. Mary's College's tuition in the Spring of 2014.

  • The school has greatly increased it's African-American faculty.
  • The school has expanded it's outreach to minority students throughout the state.
  • The school has worked with numerous financial aid programs and scholarship funds to increase African-American student enrollment.
  • A number of top administrators at the college are now African-American.
  • The school's new President, Doctor Tuajuanda Jordan, is a person of African-American heritage.
  • The school has several programs that support minority students on campus, academically and socially.
  • News articles report that African-American students on campus have a strong and vibrant community.
  • The school just received a top national ranking for on-campus race and class relations.
  • The school secured a lowering of it's tuition 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".[61]

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"

Colonial St. Mary's City, which was on the site where St. Mary's College of Maryland is located today, was a place where struggles over 'Liberty of conscience' in religion,[9] representative political practices,[34][147] freedom of the press, and minority rights all came to the fore at various times. Utilizing early Maryland as a case study in "emerging democracy," the foundation works to apply the lessons of the region's history to a domestic and international discussion of democracy's role in the modern world.[144][148] The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) We the People initiative awarded the Center a $500,000 challenge grant in September 2004.[149]

Notable advisory board members include:
