Towson University is located in the northern suburbs of Baltimore City, just 10 minutes from the nationally acclaimed Inner Harbor, and five minutes from the picturesque Maryland countryside. Towson is the county seat for Baltimore County. As a result, all interstates intersecting the Baltimore Beltway I-695 are signed indicating an easterly or westerly direction to “Towson.”

The 328-acre campus is within reasonable driving distances from major East Coast cities, approximately six hours by car (330 miles) from Upstate New York, four hours (190 miles) from New York City, two hours (90 miles) from Philadelphia, 45 minutes (40 miles) from Washington, D.C., and 25 minutes from Annapolis, our state capital. The Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport is 25 minutes from campus. It handles air traffic from all major carriers. Train service is available via Amtrak in and out of Baltimore’s Penn Station for commuter and long haul travel.
