About this School
Towson University, located in Towson in Baltimore County, Maryland, is part of the University System of Maryland.
 
History
Towson University was founded in 1866 as Maryland State Normal School and over time was situated at several locations in Baltimore, Maryland. Its original mission was to train teachers for the Maryland public school system. In 1915 it moved to Towson and in 1935 its name was changed to Maryland State Teachers College at Towson. In 1963 the name was again changed, this time to Towson State College. In 1976 the school became Towson State University and in 1997 it dropped the "state" designation to become Towson University, a change that reflects its evolution from a state-supported to a state-assisted institution.
