Living-Learning and Other Special Programs
Maryland’s highly regarded programs bring together students with a common interest to explore their passions, make connections with one another and faculty members, and participate in unique opportunities designed to enhance their education. More than half of all first-year Terps participate in one of more than two dozen special programs—most of them residential.
UMD has 9 million titles in 7 libraries and online—and so much more than books, including great spaces and tech to support learning.
Whether studying abroad, enrolling in a virtual course with classmates around the world, or taking up international service, every Terp has the opportunity to grow and advance the global common good.
