Satellite campuses are increasingly popular for public institutions hoping to expand their reach and increase access to students throughout the state, but the Post reports Maryland’s configuration of combining nine satellite programs onto one campus is unique.
At the Universities at Shady Grove, students must get accepted into their school of choice, but once they are granted acceptance, they can take classes taught by their institution’s professors on the collaborative satellite campus. The schools save on facilities and operations costs by converging onto one campus, and students save on a myriad of fees associated with attending the main campuses.
