Mission  
School mission As Maryland's public honors college, St. Mary's College of Maryland offers an undergraduate, liberal arts education and small-college experience like those found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary's shares the hallmarks of private institutions: outstanding faculty, talented students, high academic standards, a challenging curriculum, small classes, a sense of community, and a spirit of intellectual inquiry. Located in Historic St. Mary's City, it is small (2,002 students in fall 2007), with 84% of its full-time students living on campus. A spectacular waterfront setting in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay region, within a two-hour drive of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, enhances the uniqueness of St. Mary's College.
