We are the National Public Honors College. Here’s what that means—and what’s in it for you. St. Mary’s College of Maryland offers an exceptional undergraduate liberal arts education and small-college experience like those found at high-priced private colleges. But here’s the kicker: As a state college, we’re much more affordable.
No matter your background, if you have the talent and ambition to do the work, you belong here on our beautiful waterfront campus where you’ll find yourself studying on hammocks, socializing over bonfires, and getting a career-ready edge unlike any other.
