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.

Maryland Cooperative Extension is a partnership among the U. S. Department of Agriculture, land-grant universities and local governments in each state. MCE faculty and staff are professionals provide research-based information, educational programs and services and are committed to "educating people to help themselves" in the following program areas: Agriculture & Nature Resources, Nutrient Management, Family and Consumer Science, 4-H Youth Development, After School Programs, and Food Stamp Nutrition Education (FSNE).
