| Mission | |
| School mission: | Towson University is a medium-size university that offers large university advantages with a small liberal arts college experience. Small classes (nearly 80% smaller than 30) provide opportunities for close interaction with highly qualified faculty and highly motivated students from diverse backgrounds. The University's "commitment to a sound liberal arts education...helps students develop a range of intellectual skills that will continue to enrich and shape their lives long after their formal education has ended." This philosophy is reflected in Towson's retention and graduation rates, which are among the highest in the United States of all comprehensive metropolitan universities. |
