University of Maryland, College Park
The University of Maryland, College Park, founded in 1856, is the state's flagship public research university, and its proximity to Washington, DC gives students and faculty unusually direct access to federal agencies, national laboratories, and policy institutions clustered in the surrounding metropolitan area. The university's computer science and engineering programs have built particularly strong reputations, benefiting from research partnerships with NASA's nearby Goddard Space Flight Center and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, both located within a short drive of campus. Maryland's journalism school and its criminology and criminal justice programs, both consistently ranked among the best at any public university, draw directly on the school's proximity to national media outlets and federal law enforcement agencies headquartered in the DC area. The university's Terrapins athletic programs and its move from the ACC to the Big Ten conference in 2014 reflected the broader institutional ambition to raise Maryland's national athletic and academic profile, a shift that's coincided with continued strong federal research funding tied to the university's Washington-area location.
VS
Loyola University Maryland
Loyola University Maryland, founded in 1852 by the Jesuit order, is one of the oldest Catholic universities in the country, and its Baltimore campus has built a solid regional reputation for its business, education, and psychology programs within the broader Jesuit university network. The university's Sellinger School of Business has built a strong reputation in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, and Loyola's relatively small undergraduate enrollment, around 4,000 students, lets it maintain smaller class sizes and closer faculty engagement than the larger public universities in the region. Loyola's men's lacrosse program, which won a national championship in 2012, reflects the broader prominence of lacrosse in Maryland generally, a sport with particularly deep roots in the state relative to most of the rest of the country, and the university's athletic programs draw heavily on that regional lacrosse culture. The university's Jesuit mission, combined with its Baltimore location and solid regional business and education program reputations, has made Loyola a consistent choice for students specifically seeking a mid-sized private Catholic university experience within the Baltimore-Washington region.
