Location:

As a regional community college, the College of Southern Maryland's primary focus is serving the residents and businesses of Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's counties in Maryland. While it welcomes international students and may offer study abroad opportunities, it does not operate international campuses or maintain a physical global presence. Its global impact is primarily through educating a diverse student body for a globalized world and fostering international understanding through its curriculum and campus activities.
