“I had the most amazing, intelligent and challenging professors. They pushed me to learn more and they encouraged me to the extent where I never saw or considered psychology as a chore, but instead it was a vastly mesmerizing and interesting field I couldn’t get enough of.” – Esther Adetunji ’08 CURRENT: Senior Staff Attorney, Bread for the City (DC) MAJOR: Psychology, English

the World
Challenge the World St. Mary’s College of Maryland is the place where you’ll gain the toolkit you need to make your mark in the world. Our beautiful waterfront campus keeps the rhythm of the tide. It’s a place “where people respect the natural environment and tradition of tolerance which is the heritage of this place”: Look it up – it’s the St. Mary’s Way – and it is the bedrock of our community.
Of course, there are plenty of bricks and grass, too. Expect to see your professor biking to campus and holding class outside on a sunny day. You’ll also see students wading in the St. John’s pond for bio lab, grabbing a coffee at “The Grind” and hanging with friends at the Campus Center.
Challenge Your Mind We value small classrooms over large lecture halls. Our 10:1 student-teacher ratio and innovative Core Curriculum provide a rich learning environment with endless opportunities to work closely with professors. You’ll start with a First Year Seminar, with topics ranging from “Jane Austen and the Dating Game” to “Mind-Bending Math.” It culminates in your choice of senior capstone projects or seminars, experiences that may lead to publishing a paper in a national journal with your faculty mentor, as Christine Kodluboy ’13 and Brad Roberts ’15 did or presenting your physics research at the Mid-Atlantic Section of the American Physical Society like Arvind Srinivasan ’17.

Challenge Your Body What we do outside the classroom is as much a part of the St. Mary’s Way as what we do inside the classroom. Our students like to try new things, like sailing, Hatha yoga, or African dance. Join one of nearly 100 student-run clubs or play an intramural sport. Take private music lessons or join one of several singing groups, or form your own band and rock out at our weekly coffee house.
MORE THAN
Challenge Your Place Just as we strive to cultivate strong minds and bodies, we look outward to become global citizens of the world. Green energy is our standard on campus; we grow organic produce in our campus farm that is served in the dining hall. We’re building two Tiny Houses this year as part of our new major in environmental studies. In this place, we live and learn on our own terms.
