Salisbury University is a public comprehensive university located on Maryland's Eastern Shore and part of the University System of Maryland. Founded in 1925 as the Maryland State Normal School for the Eastern Shore, SU enrolls approximately 8,000 students across undergraduate and graduate programs in the colleges of arts and sciences, business, education, and health and human services. Known for its strong nursing, business, education, and health science programs and for offering one of the lowest tuition rates in the region, Salisbury combines small-college attention with the resources of a doctoral university. The Sea Gulls compete in NCAA Division III athletics, and the university's location near the Chesapeake Bay and Ocean City provides students with a unique coastal academic environment rich in natural and cultural resources.
