One of the original “Colleges That Change Lives,” McDaniel is committed to access and affordability with over 90% of students receiving some type of financial assistance. McDaniel offers 108 undergraduate and graduate academic programs with academics centered on the McDaniel Plan, a customized, interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes experiential learning and student-faculty collaboration to develop the unique potential in every student. The signature McDaniel Commitment also guarantees every student is prepared for personal and professional success.

Represented by the Green Terror, over 20 athletic teams compete in the NCAA Division III Centennial Conference. Additionally, students are involved in nearly 100 student organizations, including intramural sports and fraternities and sororities. McDaniel offers access to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., plus a European campus in Budapest, Hungary.
