Quick Facts

St. Mary's College of Maryland is the nation's premier public liberal arts college. We are ranked among the top 10% of public colleges in the nation (Princeton Review). The state legislature designated us Maryland's public honors college in 1992, recognizing the quality of our students, faculty and curriculum.

The St. Mary's Difference

St. Mary's is different; we're an entire honors college, as opposed to an honors program. We attract independent thinkers who are more into improving themselves than going through the motions. For those ready to accept the challenge, we offer what it takes to reach their goals.
