e live in a fast-changing, complex
and often puzzling world. The
experience students get in the
University of Maryland’s College of Arts &
Humanities provides the insight, skills and
knowledge to take it all on. We offer excit-
ing, challenging opportunities in and out
of the classroom: learn to speak German;
intern at the Smithsonian; perform in a
Shakespeare play; travel to Chile or Israel to
study the people and cultures; or volunteer in
D.C. with a women’s health advocacy group.
Our renowned faculty, including Emmy and
Tony winners, are exploring the frontiers of
emerging fields like digital humanities. Our
unbeatable location just outside Washington,
D.C., provides endless research and career
options. Whether you major in arts, humani-
ties or an area of interdisciplinary study, you’ll
deepen your understanding and develop a
set of experiences that prepare you for the
competitive global workforce, and more
importantly, for lifelong learning.

humanities, Hasan loves the energy and
exchange of ideas borne of living and learning

ous. And they draw talented students from
all kinds of backgrounds. “When you bring
all these people together,” he says, “amazing
things happen.”
Are you interested in a more intensive learning experience? Get a little closer. Maryland’s highly ranked living and learning programs allow tal-ented undergraduates with shared interests to live in the same residence hall, take courses together and cultivate relationships with faculty mentors.
