We 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 exciting, 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, humanities 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.
