What Sets Salisbury Apart?

Our learning community is student-centered, where students are taught by professional educators in small classroom settings, faculty serve as academic advisors, and virtually every student has an opportunity to undertake research or experiential learning with a faculty mentor. We foster an environment where individuals make choices that lead to a more successful development of social, physical, occupational, emotional and intellectual well-being. The University recruits exceptional and diverse faculty, staff and undergraduate and graduate students from across Maryland, the United States and around the world, supporting all members of the University community as they work together to achieve institutional goals and vision.

Believing that learning and service are vital components of civic life, Salisbury University actively contributes to the local Eastern Shore community and the educational, economic, cultural and social needs of our State and nation. Values The core values of Salisbury University are excellence, student centeredness, learning, community, civic engagement and diversity. We believe these values must be lived and experienced as integral to everyday campus life so that students make the connection between what they learn and how they live. The goals and objectives of our strategic, academic, facilities and enrollment plans, as well as our fiscal commitments, reflect our fundamental values. In addition to these principal values, the University embraces through its shared governance bodies the long-honored tradition of honesty and mutual regard that is and should be a defining characteristic of higher education.
