St. Mary’s City, MD – St. Mary’s College of Maryland was warned earlier this month that its accreditation could be in jeopardy if it does not address how it assesses student learning.

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the accrediting body for colleges in Maryland and several other states, issued the warn notice at its thrice-yearly meeting on March 3. The Middle States Commission issues warn notices infrequently, but the action means the college is still accredited while it works to fix the issues identified by the accrediting body.
