Entering freshmen participate by invitation in Honors Humanities, a highly selective, two-year living-learning program for academically talented students who come from majors across campus and who share a passion for the arts and humanities and a desire for a well-rounded education. The program is organized around a diverse and interdisciplinary curriculum of four classes that culminate in an independent research, service, or creative project (the "Keystone Project") that a student designs and carries out with the guidance of a faculty mentor.

Honors Humanities provides students with engaging classes, fun extracurricular activities, life-long friendships, a lively home in beautiful Anne Arundel Hall, and opportunities to take advantage of the intellectual, social, and cultural riches of the Washington, D.C. region. Upon completion of the program, students earn an Honors Humanities citation on their college transcript, giving them a competitive edge for graduate school and the job market in law, engineering, education, medicine, non-profit leadership, business, and beyond! 

Why Preference Honors Humanities?

If you're a high-school senior trying to decide which Honors College program to choose, you should consider preferencing Honors Humanities if you are passionate about things like music, law, movies, literature, or history, and if you want your application to stand out when you apply for internships, grad school, or jobs.
