The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) is a public community college with campuses in Hughesville, La Plata, Leonardtown, and Prince Frederick, Maryland. It serves students living in Southern Maryland's Charles, St. Mary's, and Calvert counties.
History
In September 1958, the predecessor to today's CSM, Charles County Junior College, began evening classes at La Plata High School.[1] In 1960, the college added an apprenticeship program.[2] In 1968, Charles County Community College began construction of the Career Education and Administration Building on what is now the main CSM campus in La Plata, Maryland.[2] On July 1, 2000, the college officially became the College of Southern Maryland.[1] CSM celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2008 with events marking its history.[1]
Academics
The College of Southern Maryland offers more than 120 programs of study including Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Applied Science degree programs. CSM has more than 60 guaranteed transfer agreements with four-year colleges and universities. Furthermore, CSM offers a wide range of continuing education certificates and career training programs such as computer programming and repair, truck driving, and nursing.
Accreditation
CSM is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.[3] Its business, physical therapy, and nursing programs have specialized accreditation by Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs, American Physical Therapy Association, and National League for Nursing, respectively.[3]
Campus and training facilities
The Charles County facilities include the La Plata campus and a training center also in La Plata. In conjunction with the University of Maryland University College, CSM operates the Waldorf Center for Higher Education in Waldorf.[4] The St. Mary's County campus is located in Leonardtown and a training center is located in Lexington Park. The Calvert County campus is located in Prince Frederick.[5]
La Plata campus
The original campus of CSM houses a bookstore, cafeteria, conference center, a fine arts center with a 400-seat auditorium, computer laboratories, a distance learning center, a fitness center and, formerly, a pool. The pool was closed indefinitely in March 2021 due to declining usage over the course of the previous ten years.[6][7]
The fitness center, along with all other buildings, was closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic; however, it remained closed following campus reopening due to significant renovations which were underway at the time. The fitness center reopened on October 30, 2023, after having been closed for more than three years.[8][9]
The Southern Maryland Studies Center, a regional archives repository and research center, is located in the CSM library.[10]
Leonardtown campus

The campus was moved to its current location in 1997, which includes four buildings—Buildings A, B, C, and D.[11] The campus has an auditorium/seminar room, science labs, a fitness center and a pool, the latter two of which are available for student and community use.[11]
