College Highlights
LIBERAL EDUCATION
UMD’s liberal education program prepares students to lead socially responsible lives in an increasingly diverse, complex world. Designed to develop key skills and attributes, the program binds courses together to create a common experience across the disciplines. This creates a more cohesive integration of the liberal arts in conjunction with major-specific courses.
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) allows students to utilize a range of resources as they work alongside a faculty mentor in engaging research. Students may even be eligible to receive financial support. After completing their research project, students present their findings at the annual UMD Undergraduate Research/Artistic Showcase.
