School Notes
Allegany College of Maryland was founded in August of 1961 by a
resolution passed by the Allegany County Board of Education and
approved by the Allegany County Commissioners. The College, which
now has separate governance under a Board of Trustees, is an
example of the rapid growth in the development of Maryland's
community college system. Allegany College of Maryland was
established to provide low-cost, high quality, higher education for
the residents of the area. Its accessibility to the county's center
of population permits students to live at home, thus saving a
substantial part of out-of-pocket costs for a college education.
The 316-acre campus includes thirteen buildings, which provide
modern facilities for over 3,000 full-time and part time students.
Facilities and equipment are consistent with and designed to
maintain the high academic standards of the College. In addition to
the Library, Humanities, and Science buildings, there is a College
Center which houses the student lounge, dining facilities, a
400-seat theatre, Admissions and Registration, Financial Aid,
Institutional Research, and the Business Office. The campus also
includes a Physical Education Building, which houses a large
gymnasium and indoor swimming pool. The Technologies building
houses instructional and laboratory facilities for several of the
career technology programs in addition to the Computer Center and
the Distance Learning and Media Center. The Continuing Education
building houses classrooms and meeting rooms for conferences,
workshops, and seminars. All of the College's credit and non-credit
health programs are centrally located in the Allied Health
Building. The Automotive Technology building houses the Automotive
Technology program. Behind the Automotive building are the services
building, the welding lab building, and a storage facility. The
Advancement/College Store houses information services, public
relations, the advancement office, and bookstore. Although heavy
emphasis was placed on liberal arts transfer programs in the
College's early development, in recent years the College has
developed highly specialized curricula, including those in the
technological and pre-professional areas, as career programs to
satisfy identified needs of the region. Ever cognizant of its
responsibility to an industrial area pocketed in Appalachian
Western Maryland, Allegany College of Maryland has accepted a
mission to make tangible contributions through higher education to
the economic and cultural growth of the area. Through its Board of
Trustees, the College presents a dimension of learning that
prepares men and women for the excitement and satisfaction of
creative lives. Allegany College of Maryland is accredited by the
Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools.
