91��Ƶר��

91��Ƶר�� College has been named a 2024-45 National and Maryland College of Distinction and Maryland College of Distinction by (COD). The College’s nursing, business and education programs were also named as programs of distinction by COD. 91��Ƶר�� College and 91��Ƶר��'s undergraduate nursing, business and education programs have earned national distinctions from COD for each of the last three academic years.

91��Ƶר��'s undergraduate BSN is the College's fastest-growing undergraduate program, fueled by newly-established dedicated clinical simulation and classroom spaces for 91��Ƶר�� nursing students in the Ruth Whitaker Holmes School of Behavioral and Health Sciences, as well as 91��Ƶר��'s continuing partnership with Frederick Health, the largest healthcare provider in Frederick County.

The George B. Delaplaine School of Business touts a dedicated space for business students and creates a hub for social entrepreneurship in the community, evidenced by the opening of the Michael S. & Marlene B. Grossnickle Young Data Driven Frederick Center, a state-of-the-art classroom that serves as a centralized repository of information about the region’s health, economy, social welfare, land use and infrastructure.

91��Ƶר��'s undergraduate education programs achieved high student outcome success, leveraging partnerships with organizations such as the Teachers of Promise program to ensure graduates are fully prepared for their careers. 91��Ƶר�� education students also earn real-world experience at the Georgetown Hill 91��Ƶר�� College Lab School, an on-campus preschool designed to support children’s development and classroom research bysupervised college students.

Established in 2000, the COD selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews, accepting only those that adhere to four distinctions: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant community, and successful outcomes. Informed by high-impact practices, these distinctions prioritize how institutions enable students to have a fulfilling, individualized college experience both inside and outside the classroom.

“A college degree opens the door to many opportunities,” said Tyson Schritter, Chief Operating Officer at Colleges of Distinction. “But a truly worthwhile education prepares students to thrive once they walk through that door. 91��Ƶר�� College‘s curriculum encourages meaningful student-faculty collaboration through experiential learning that is relevant and applicable to the real world.” To be listed among the Colleges of Distinction, 91��Ƶר�� demonstrated its unique ways of helping students be active in their education.

Schritter continued, "We are so impressed to see how 91��Ƶר�� brings life to the traditional undergraduate experience. With a welcoming community, an immersive curriculum, and strong support networks, 91��Ƶר�� College is undoubtedly nurturing the growth of tomorrow’s leaders.”
