Welcome to the Honors College at UMBC

So what’s next?

This image shows an academic class in session. The instructor is pointing to a map of Baltimore city, while students take notes on laptops and notebooks.To us, discere ad vivendum is more than a motto. It’s the foundation for all we offer you. At the Honors College, you’ll find the best of both worlds – a small college experience at a first-class research university. You’ll take courses that challenge and stimulate you. You’ll work closely with your classmates and your faculty. You’ll flourish as a reader, writer, thinker, speaker, and researcher. And you’ll become an active member of our vibrant and diverse community at UMBC. Because that’s Learning for Living.

During this event, you’ll meet and connect with your fellow students and get priority registration for your fall semester classes–before any other new UMBC students. Registration opens in March, and you can sign up through your myUMBC account. We can’t wait to meet you!
