On-Campus Visits

We think the best way to experience St. Mary’s College of Maryland is to see it for yourself. Your first time driving around the bend of Maryland Route-5 and seeing the beautiful campus overlooking the St. Mary’s River is sure to be unforgettable.

Our daily visits are offered Monday through Friday and select Saturdays. Daily visits begin with a brief information session with an Admission Counselor, followed by a walking tour led by our student ambassadors. They will help you discover all of the incredible things The National Public Honors College has to offer!

* Qualifies for the Discover SMCM Grant

We also offer Admission Interviews for students planning to apply for Fall 2026. Our Admission Interviews are held on campus and are available Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. You can also register for a Campus Visit on the same day!
