Statewide Instructional Programs

Certain programs offered at community colleges throughout Maryland are designated by the Maryland Higher Education as statewide. Maryland residents may enroll in these specialized programs and receive all or a portion of the difference in tuition between the in-county and out-of-county tuition costs if a similar program does not exist in their county of residence.

Students interested in these programs should contact the appropriate college directly.

Colleges may delete programs from the statewide designation at their discretion.

Programs subject to change without notice.
