The school's 180-acre campus is situated a few miles away from the city of Worcester. Anna Maria is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
Anna Maria College was founded by the Sisters of Saint Anne, an order headquartered in Lachine, Quebec. The College offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs, with its largest enrollments in criminal justice, business, education, and the ASN (Associate in Nursing) degree program. Anna Maria is particularly well-known for its programs in criminal justice, which received Massachusetts Quinn Bill approval. Anna Maria is a member of the Colleges of Worcester Consortium.
Anna Maria was once named by a national study to have the safest campus of any college in the United States. Though the study is old and likely outdated, the college still claims the distinction. .
Anna Maria has ten Division III athletic teams in the NCAA and is a member of the Commonwealth Coast Conference.
