Stevenson University

Stevenson University operates two campuses in Baltimore County, Maryland, with its main academic buildings in Owings Mills and a residential campus in nearby Greenspring. Founded in 1947 as Villa Julie College and renamed in 2008, it functions as a private university built around career preparation, pairing liberal arts foundations with professional programs in fields including nursing, business, and the sciences. Enrollment sits at a moderate size, and the location places students within a short drive of one of the country's denser hospital markets.

Nursing coursework moves through anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, and health assessment into nursing care across medical-surgical, maternal-newborn, pediatric, psychiatric-mental health, and community settings, with simulation and skills lab practice preceding supervised clinical rotations. Placements draw on Baltimore-area hospitals and health agencies, including academic medical centers, community hospitals, and long-term care facilities, which exposes students to a wide acuity range. Graduates are prepared to sit for the NCLEX-RN, and options exist for licensed nurses continuing toward a bachelor's degree or graduate study. Compared with Maryland's large public nursing programs, Stevenson offers smaller cohorts and close faculty contact within reach of a major medical market.
