As autumn comes to a close and the holidays are in full swing , it ’ s time to reflect on what a momentous year this was for the Stevenson community . For the fourth year in a row , Stevenson was named a Best Value School by U . S . News & World Report . We broke ground this past summer on our Philip A . Zaffere Library , an exciting new space for students and faculty to collaborate and for academic , social , and cultural gatherings . Furthermore , the track and field complex on our developing Owings Mills East extension is coming to life .

In addition to new facilities , academic growth is also on the horizon : we ’ ve introduced a Bachelor ’ s in Healthcare Management to our list of 90 + majors , minors , and tracks ( pending approval from the Maryland Higher Education Commission ). Our Brown School of Business and Leadership received specialized accreditation for its business programs from the International Accreditation Council for
Business Education ( IACBE ), including majors in Accounting , Business Administration , Fashion Merchandising and Marketing .
This fall , we saw the return of in-person Open Houses , and it ’ s been exciting for all of us in the Admissions Office to see the friendly faces of students and families , coming from near and far . We ’ re well underway with admitting students into the Class of 2026 , and we look forward to meeting these future Mustangs who have accomplished so much in the face of challenging times .
As we head into the new year , no matter where you are in the college search process , be sure to take advantage of visit opportunities throughout the spring , including Open Houses and Mustang First Looks . Whether you choose to tour campus in one of our golf carts with a current student or join us for a campus-wide event , you ’ ll get an intimate glimpse at Stevenson ’ s one-of-a-kind community and what life is like as a Mustang here . You can explore Stevenson ’ s variety of visit options and schedule your visit to campus today at stevenson . edu / visit .
The winter season ushering into spring often brings out a sense of rebirth and hope . If you ’ re a senior , you ’ ll be making a life-changing decision come May 1 . If you ’ re a junior or even younger , your college search continues . Either way , this ubiquitous period of personal exploration and discovery is a wonderful opportunity to hone your focus on what matters most to you .
From our Stevenson family to yours , we hope the holiday season and new year are full of joy and wonder .
