St. Mary's College of Maryland, established in 1840, is a U.S. public,secular (non-religious) and co-educational four-year liberal arts college located in St. Mary's City, Maryland.
St. Mary's College of Maryland is a public, state-supported honors college which offers an experience similar to that of an elite liberal arts college. With about 1,800 enrolled students, the institution offers bachelor's degrees in 24 disciplines, as well as a master's program and numerous certification programs.
The college is located in St. Mary's City, Maryland and shares much of its campus with Historic St. Mary's City, the site of Maryland's first colony and first capital. It is also the site of the fourth colony in British North America.
St. Mary's City is also considered to be the birthplace of adherents to Catholicism in America seeking to reestablish it as a state religion. This is due to its connection to colonial Maryland being founded as a Catholic colony and its position south of the Mason-Dixon line, in opposition to the 1689 Bill of Rights and its advocates north of the Mason-Dixon line. The British colony of Maryland established Catholicism and Christianity as its state religion.
The internationally recognized Historical Archaeology Field School is jointly operated by St. Mary's College of Maryland and Historic St. Mary's City. The campus and the rest of St. Mary's City combined are considered to be one of the premier archaeological sites in the United States.
