About

Hood College is a private college in Frederick, Maryland. It was established in 1893 by the Potomac Synod of the Reformed Church in the United States as a women's college. An all-female institution until 1971, the college initially admitted men only as commuters. This continued until 2003, when male students were extended the option of residential status. In fall 2018, Hood enrolled 2,052 students (1,092 undergraduate students; 960 graduate students). Thirty-eight percent of students are either members of under-represented racial or ethnic populations or from foreign countries.
