In the dawn, armed with a burning patience,
We shall enter the splendid cities—
—Arthur Rimbaud

 

Honors Humanities is the University of Maryland’s premier honors program for talented beginning undergraduates with interests in the humanities and creative arts. Housed in picturesque Wicomico Hall, the selective two-year living-learning program combines a small liberal arts college environment with the dynamic resources of a large research university. Open to academically gifted students of all backgrounds and intended majors, Honors Humanities offers small seminars, special events, and close contact with distinguished faculty across the disciplines of the University. Honors Humanities is a diverse community: we welcome both those who seek preparation for advanced undergraduate and/or graduate study in the humanities, and those who wish to complement any major(s) with wide-ranging and challenging exposure to the humanities.
