Salisbury University

We’re an academic powerhouse with one of the highest graduation rates in the University System of Maryland. We’re an enthusiastic community leader providing thousands of volunteer hours to local non-profits. We’re an economic driver contributing nearly half a billion dollars to the local economy. We’re a visionary partner helping Maryland and the nation meet workforce needs with excellence!

History

The Salisbury University story began with a state in need. In 1921, a study showed Maryland’s existing higher education infrastructure was not adequately meeting the demand for teachers in the state’s rural areas. The next year, the Maryland Legislature sought to remedy this by founding a new “normal school in one of the state’s most rural areas: the Eastern Shore.
