Frostburg State University (FSU) is a public university in Frostburg, Maryland.[6] The university is the only four-year institution of the University System of Maryland west of the Baltimore-Washington passageway in the state's Appalachian highlands. Founded in 1898 by Maryland State Senator, John Leake, Frostburg was selected because the site offered the best suitable location without a cost to the state.[7] Today, the institution is a largely residential university.
With an enrollment of approximately 4,858 students, the university offers 47 undergraduate majors, 16 graduate programs, and a doctorate in educational leadership.[8][9] The university is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and places primary emphasis on its role as a teaching and learning institution.[10]
