It is only one of two "Public Honors Colleges" in the nation and one of only a handful of small public liberal arts colleges. It was specifically tasked by the state of Maryland to be modeled after far more expensive private elite liberal arts colleges with the intention of offering such an education in the public sector. The school is secular (nonreligious); the name commemorates the original colonial settlement by that name, half of which was located where the college now stands. In 2014, ''U.S. News & World Report'', in its annual "Best College and Universities" report, ranked St. Mary's College as "5th" in the nation under the category "Top Public Schools" in the "Colleges" ranking.〔"National Liberal Arts Colleges Summary: St. Mary's College of Maryland" ''U.S. News & World Report'' Best Colleges and Universities Ranking, 2014 http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/st-mary-s-college-of-maryland-163912/overall-rankings〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Mary's City, Maryland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
