Frostburg State University (often referred to as FSU) is a public student-centered teaching and learning institution located on a 260-acre (1.1-km2) campus in Frostburg, Maryland. The University is the only four-year institution of the University System of Maryland west of the Baltimore-Washington passageway, positioned in the state's Appalachian highlands, an area rich in its mining and educational heritage. Founded in 1898 by Maryland Governor Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., Frostburg was selected because the site offered the best suitable location without a cost to the state. Today, the institution is a largely residential university, offering a wide assortment of distinctive programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
With a fall 2015 enrollment of 5,756 students, the university offers 44 different undergraduate majors, 17 graduate programs, and a doctorate in educational leadership. The institution draws its students from all counties in Maryland, from other states and countries, promoting diversity among its students, faculty, and staff through incorporating its Cultural Diversity Program strategies that focus on the effective enrollment.
Accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the university places primary emphasis on its role as a teaching and learning institution. Faculty and professional staff engage in a wide range of scholarly activities and professional involvement, with the ultimate goal of enhancing student learning. Major areas of concentration are offered in education, business, science and technology, the creative and performing arts, and selected programs in the humanities and social sciences. The university officially became a charter member of the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, a commitment that provides a framework and support network for American colleges and universities to eventually go climate neutral.
