Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Stevenson University decreased from 10 to 7 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 32 MD 4-year peers in this comparison, Stevenson University is larger than 65% and safer-reporting than 58% - the larger, safer-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Stevenson University fell from 10 to 7 (-30%). The increase shows up in Arson (0 to 1), Fondling (1 to 2) and Rape (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (5 to 1) and Burglary (3 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Stevenson University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Fondling, Rape, Arson and Motor Vehicle Theft.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Stevenson University sits on price and outcomes
At $26,505, Stevenson University's reported average net price is cheaper than 84% among 67 Maryland colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,140.

- average net price

- Maryland median
- 2.1×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $15,998
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $15,894, while those above $110,000 record $31,892 - roughly 2.0 times as much. A published average of $26,505 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six-year median earnings of $54,574 run about 2.1 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
