School Mission

(Data appear as originally submitted by this school)
Towson University is a medium-size university that offers large university advantages with a small liberal arts college experience. Small classes (nearly 80% smaller than 30) provide opportunities for close interaction with highly qualified faculty and highly motivated students from diverse backgrounds. The University's "commitment to a sound liberal arts education. . . helps students develop a range of intellectual skills that will continue to enrich and shape their lives long after their formal education has ended. " This philosophy is reflected in Towson's retention and graduation rates, which are among the highest in the United States of all comprehensive metropolitan universities.
