| Mission | |
| School mission: | Stevenson University, formerly Villa Julie College, was founded in 1947 and is the third-largest independent undergraduate university in Maryland. More than 3,400 students pursue bachelor's, master's, and adult accelerated degrees at locations in Stevenson and Owings Mills. Stevenson has undergone tremendous growth in recent years and has positioned itself as a national leader in career education with a distinctive process called CareerArchitecture. Students undergo self-discovery exercises as soon as they arrive on campus in order to help them align their career goals with their personal interests and values. Coupled with the University's Learning Beyond initiative - which supplements academic instruction with experiential learning via internships, study abroad, service learning, and other outside-the-classroom opportunities - Stevenson offers a distinct career-focused education marked by individualized attention, blending the liberal arts with career exploration and planning. Students graduate with the competence and confidence needed to chart their careers paths. Since his arrival in 2000, Stevenson University President Kevin J. Manning, Ph.D., has overseen the University's expansion to a second campus in Owings Mills. The 100-acre Owings Mills campus opened in 2004 and has 11 modern residence halls housings more than 1,300 students, a community center for student events, a dining hall and student activities building, athletic fields and wellness center, and office and classroom space. The new Brown School of Business and Leadership houses the University's successful undergraduate programs in business, information technology, and paralegal studies, and includes a state-of-the-art Mock Trial Courtroom. The University is adding a new 60,000-square-foot gymnasium on the Owings Mills campus as well. Besides new physical space, Stevenson has added academic programs to meet the needs of its students, including Maryland's first middle school teacher preparation program to train new teachers to deal with the unique problems facing students in grades four through nine. The University has also offers distinctive undergraduate programs in biotechnology; film, video, and theatre; medical technology; nursing; public history; and visual communication design. For working adults, the University offers online and onsite masters degree programs in business and technology management, advanced information technology, forensic science, and forensic studies, as well an accelerated RN-to-BS nursing program for working nurses. |
