The UMD Honors Program

is designed to bring together high-achieving students and dedicated faculty and to provide a small university environment within the diversity of opportunity of the larger university community. We offer motivated students who are serious about their intellectual growth a variety of special classes enhanced by many cultural events and activities, as well as leadership and research opportunities. Our program fosters close individual contact between students and faculty and brings together talented students with many interests.

How will UMD Honors be of benefit to you?
