University Honors

is designed to bring together highly motivated students and dedicated faculty to provide a small university environment within the larger university community. We offer students who are serious about their intellectual and personal growth a variety of special classes enhanced by cultural events, leadership, civic engagement and research opportunities. University Honors (UH) assembles students from across all five colleges at UMD and fosters close meaningful contact between these students, UH faculty, and community leaders.

How will University Honors benefit you?

• Learn in University Honors-designated courses which satisfy liberal education requirements. Here, in small classes with Honors faculty and other motivated Honors students, you can experience an active, engaged undergraduate education

• Share living space with other UH students in our dedicated section of the new Ianni Hall

• Engage with other high performing students, Duluth community leaders, and faculty in a variety of settings including, dinners, field trips, active classrooms, our “Meet the Professional” series, and other UH special events

• Earn a $1500 per year book scholarship, available on a competitive basis

• Distinguish yourself by graduating with a degree from University Honors. Less than 2% of UMD undergraduates are accepted into UH. A degree from UH sets you apart from the crowd
