How To Apply

The Program enrolls 10-20 students each year, and admission standards are rigorous. There is no minimum GPA but most applicants have established a strong track record in the English Department (including English 301, the gateway course for the major), have earned the support of an English professor, and have developed a clear sense of their goals for Honors and beyond. Applicants must be able to commit three full semesters (spring-fall-spring) to the completion of the program.

To apply, download the honors application and review the program description. You can contact Professor Elizabeth Arnold (earnold3@umd.edu), Director of English Honor, if you have any questions about Honors or the application process.

The application deadline to start in spring 2012 is November 9, 2011.
