St. Mary's College of Maryland (SMCM) is a public liberal arts college in St. Mary's City, Maryland.[7][8][9][3] Established in 1840, St. Mary's College is an honors college that claims to "offer an experience similar to that of an elite liberal arts college".[10] With about 1,600 enrolled students, the institution offers bachelor's degrees in 21 disciplines,[3] as well as a master's program and certification programs.[3]

The college shares much of its campus with Historic St. Mary's City, the site of Maryland's first colony and capital.[7][3] It is also the site of the fourth colony in British North America. The Historical Archaeology Field School is jointly operated by St. Mary's College of Maryland and Historic St. Mary's City.[11][12] The campus and the rest of St. Mary's City combined are considered to be one of the premier archaeological sites in the United States.[11]

History

[edit]
Main article: History of St. Mary's College of Maryland

St. Mary's College of Maryland is located on the original site of Maryland's first colony, St. Mary's City,[12] which was also the first capital of Maryland[13] and is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America.[14][15]

Colonial St. Mary's City was actually only a town and at its peak had between 500 and 600 residents. However, as the colony quickly expanded and settlements spread throughout the Eastern part of what is now Maryland, the town remained the capital and representatives would travel from all over the colony to participate in the Maryland General Assembly, the colony's first legislative body.

The Colony was founded under a mandate by the colonial proprietor, Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore of England, that the new settlers engage in religious tolerance of each other.[15][16][17] The first settlers were both Protestant and Catholic during a time of persecution of Catholics.[17] This mandate was unprecedented at the time, as England had been wracked by religious conflict for centuries.

The college's name, St. Mary's, commemorates Maryland's first colony, "St. Mary's City", which once stood where the college stands now. It has been coeducational since 1949.

Academics

[edit]

St. Mary's College offers 21 majors (with 5 additional in development), 29 minors, seven pre-professional programs and it has a master's program in education. It is a public honors college,[9][10] one of only two such colleges in the United States. As such, it maintains a core honors-level curriculum[18] that all of its students, regardless of major, must complete.

The college underwent its first ever large-scale program review or program prioritization process in February 2021, resulting in the discontinuation of several majors and minors.[19]

It has an 81% overall graduation rate (including longer than four years). [3] The college has a 70% four-year graduation rate,[3] the highest of any public institution in Maryland[3] and third highest in the United States among public colleges.[20] 69% of students pursue dual concurrent degrees or dual minors, which may take longer than four years, in some cases. 10% of students transfer from St. Mary's College to other institutions [3] and 83% of students enroll for a second year.[3]

79% of students are receiving financial aid,[3] with 66% of students receiving grants or scholarships.[3]

The school is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.[21]

Tuition

[edit]

According to the Maryland Higher Education Commission, St. Mary's College, despite being a public institution, competes mostly with elite private colleges.[22] The commission reported in 2014 that the cost of obtaining a degree at St. Mary's College is $30,000 less when compared to the average costs of the elite private colleges that it competes with.[22]

Furthermore, there are Substance and Alcohol Free Environment (SAFE) suites and apartments on campus, as well as part of a residence hall.

Student townhouses on campus

The majority of the on-campus student population lives in traditional college dormitories, group suite apartments and townhouses; 85% of students live on campus.

St. Mary's College does not have any social sororities or fraternities. Instead, part of its student residences run on a house system. Each house has its own educational theme, so residents may form community around shared interests.

The SGA charters clubs, promotes campus events and activities, works closely with the administration to help guide student-related policy, and works to promote student engagement in campus life through representation and programming. Senators, elected by the student body, represent constituents divided by housing (or commuters). The executive board (president, vice president, treasurer, etc.) are also elected by the student body.

The student trustee, a voting member of the board of trustees and an ex officio member of the SGA, is chosen from among the students to act as a direct link between the student body and the board of trustees.[51] Aside from the student trustee position, students also participate in numerous other committees with faculty and other members of the administration.

Energy conservation

[edit]

St. Mary's College students voted to create a Green Energy Fund by raising student fees $25 per year.[61] The purpose of the Green Energy Fund is to purchase Renewable Energy Credits to offset 100% of the college's electricity use and fund renewable energy projects on campus.[61] St. Mary's College received the 2008 EPA Green Power Leadership Club award for their efforts.[61]
