A University on the RISE

Towson University’s RISE as a teaching and research institution of national stature and an anchor institution for our region, is the result of our unique ability to generate opportunities for our students and a focused commitment to the public good.

Our RISE to being ranked among the top public universities nationally, is fueled by our most closely held value for more than 150 years: Put Students First. TU is a powerful driver of opportunity for our nearly 20,000 students and over 188,000 alumni.

TU is RISING for our city, state and region. We drive economic development and entrepreneurship through hundreds of community-based partnerships and initiatives.

Our RISE Campaign success is the result of the momentum and record-setting generosity from our alumni, faculty, staff, corporate partners and friends.

TU’s Future

The future is now. With the success of the RISE Campaign, we are transforming the TU experience with programs and initiatives that prepare our graduates to RISE to the challenges of a rapidly changing, increasingly diverse and more interconnected world.
