This summer, the Young Scholars Program invites high school students from throughout the U.S. and around the world to an outstanding pre-college experience at the University of Maryland. From July 8-27, 2012, students with exceptional ability and promise pursue academic interests, discover career opportunities, earn three college credits, and explore the independence of university life. 

 

University faculty provide innovative instruction in a learning environment that encourages creative problem solving. Courses are enriched with field trips and guest speakers and take Young Scholars from theory to practice. Beyond the classroom, seminars and social activities further the exchange of ideas with equally talented peers. 

 

The Young Scholars Program offers over 20 courses that are at the cutting-edge of theory, thought, and technology. Students enroll in one three-credit course, selecting from a broad range of academic disciplines.

 

Situated on over 1,250 tree-lined acres, the University of Maryland is located just nine miles from the nation’s capital, Washington, DC. As the state of Maryland's flagship university--ranked 18th among national public universities in America's Best Colleges 2011, U.S. News & World Report--the University offers an academic environment that prepares students for success, providing the tools and knowledge to achieve their personal, educational, and career goals.
