SIZE ■ With more than 22,000 undergraduate and graduate students, Towson University is one of the largest public institutions in Maryland. It is a member of the University System of Maryland, the nation’s 12th largest university system.

RECOGNITION ■ U.S. News & World Report’s America’s Best Colleges guide ranked Towson University 14th in its 2017 list of the top public colleges and universities in the region (North). G.I. Jobs has ranked TU a Military Friendly School for the sixth year in a row. Washington Monthly lists TU as one of its best contributors to the public good in higher education, and names it a “best bang for your buck” in the northeast region.

LOCATION ■ The TU campus is located in the heart of Towson, just eight miles from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and an hour from Washington, D.C.

SAFETY ■ The Towson University Police Department provides sworn police and security services to the TU community 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. TUPD helps the campus maintain the lowest per capita crime rate in the University of Maryland System, a distinction claimed for 6 years running. TUPD has also received the Governor’s Crime Prevention Award for more than 30 consecutive years. TUPD is accredited by the Commission for Accreditation in Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). Fewer than six percent of law enforcement agencies nationwide can claim this distinction.

TECHNOLOGY ■ TU’s wireless network, one of the largest in the Baltimore metro area, provides free high-speed internet access to the campus.

FACULTY ■ With 1,157 full-time equivalent faculty members, Towson offers a student-faculty ratio of 17:1.

PROGRAMS ■ Students can choose from 65 undergraduate majors, 42 master’s programs, 22 post-baccalaureate certifications, three certifications of advanced study, and four doctoral programs.

SMALL CLASSES ■ Sixty-six percent of the undergraduate classes offered at Towson enroll fewer than 30 students.

ATHLETICS ■ With the most comprehensive intercollegiate athletics program in the Baltimore metropolitan area, Towson sponsors 19 intercollegiate sports, offering a variety of spectator opportunities for the college sports fan. The Tigers compete primarily in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), the top mid-major conference in the country. Towson’s athletics program is a rallying point for students, faculty, staff and the community, and welcomes fans of all ages to a convenient location for affordable family entertainment.

FUNDRAISING ■ Towson University’s annual campaign raised over $8.6 million in FY16. This amount represents contributions from over 6,500 alumni which is the largest number of alumni donors in TU history.

HOUSING ■ Towson has 15 on-campus residence halls housing more than 5,000 students. Construction on new residence halls and renovations on existing halls will push the on-campus capacity to nearly 5,700 by fall 2018.

PARTNERSHIPS ■ Towson University addresses regional needs with outreach initiatives ranging from K-12 programs to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, from economic development to speech-language-hearing screenings, and from Division I athletics to community arts programs.

WE’RE GROWING ■ We’ve just completed our new master plan, which allows for creative ways to grow our academic, parking, and student life space in within our 329-acre campus. Plans are in place for new buildings for the Fisher College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Health Professions as we work to secure funding.
