MCE provides research-based practical education to the problems of American families, agriculture, business, and industry. In Maryland, MCE operates through the University of Maryland at College Park, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. MCE has field offices in all twenty-three Maryland counties and Baltimore City. MCE is financially supported by federal, state, and local government.
