Maryland State College

Maryland State College was the former name of what is now Towson University in Maryland. It was established in 1866 as a state-supported institution to provide higher education, especially teacher training, to Maryland residents. Over time, it expanded its academic programs and campus facilities, evolving from a teachers' college into a comprehensive university offering undergraduate and graduate degrees across various fields. Today, Towson University is recognized for its strong academic reputation, diverse student body, and contributions to education, research, and community engagement in the region.
