McDonogh School and McDaniel College Partner to Fully Fund Faculty Graduate Degrees
(Owings Mills, Maryland; December 18, 2025) — McDonogh School and McDaniel College are excited to announce a partnership providing full tuition coverage at McDaniel for McDonogh faculty pursuing their first graduate degree. The partnership will commence in January 2026.
"At McDonogh, we believe deeply in the transformative power of education," said Head of School Dave Farace '87. "This partnership demonstrates our commitment to lifelong learning for our students and faculty alike. By removing financial barriers to graduate education, everyone benefits: our faculty, our students, and our community."
McDonogh will continue supporting faculty who attend other institutions, but the McDaniel partnership eliminates tuition costs entirely, making graduate education more accessible for faculty early in their careers who may be managing undergraduate debt or other financial obligations. Currently, 67% of faculty hold advanced degrees.
"McDaniel College is proud and excited to partner with McDonogh to expand access to graduate education for their educators," said McDaniel Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies Vickie Mazer. "Teachers change lives, and this initiative reflects our shared belief that investing in their professional development strengthens entire learning communities. We look forward to welcoming McDonogh faculty into our graduate programs and supporting them as they advance their skills, careers, and impact."
McDaniel offers more than 20 graduate degree and certificate programs, with many programs available online or in a hybrid format. Visit mcdaniel.edu/myfuture for a full list of McDaniel's graduate master's degrees and certificates.
While McDaniel has similar partnerships with other schools and school systems in both Maryland and Pennsylvania, this is the only agreement with a school covering all tuition and fees for their employees.
The two institutions share a commitment to teaching excellence and transformative education. McDaniel's Westminster campus is conveniently located near McDonogh, and the college has served the region for nearly 160 years since its founding in 1867.
McDonogh School is an independent, coeducational day and five-day boarding school that enrolls students in prekindergarten through twelfth grade. Providing life-altering educational opportunities that inspire joy in learning and promote personal and intellectual growth is at the heart of the McDonogh experience. The School's talented and caring teachers prepare students to lead and to be a force for good in a rapidly changing world. In addition to state-of-the-art academic, art, and athletic facilities, McDonogh's 800-acre campus provides countless opportunities for exploration. A unique highlight is Roots, a 10-acre farm where students experience hands-on learning and harvest produce for The Maryland Food Bank. McDonogh's fleet of 21 buses serves Baltimore City and surrounding counties. The five-day boarding option allows Upper School students to experience activities, traditions, spirit, and community to the fullest. Learn more at mcdonogh.org.
McDaniel College, founded in 1867, is a four-year, independent college of the liberal arts and sciences offering over 100 undergraduate and graduate programs. One of the original "Colleges That Change Lives," McDaniel emphasizes experiential learning and student-faculty collaboration to develop the unique potential in every student. Represented by the Green Terror, over 20 athletic teams compete in the NCAA Division III Centennial Conference. A student-centered community of 1,600 undergraduates and 1,400 graduate students offers access to both Baltimore and Washington, D.C., plus a European campus in Budapest, Hungary.
