The University of Maryland’s Young Scholars Program, July 12–31, 2009, is a great way for rising high school juniors and seniors to get ready for college.  During three unforgettable weeks, students explore bold ideas and new ways of thinking.  Motivated students have the opportunity to pursue academic interests, explore career opportunities, earn 3 college credits in 3 weeks, and discover college life at Maryland! 

In the Young Scholars Program, students enroll in a 3-credit introductory course, going from theory to practice through field trips or guest speakers.  Dynamic instructors create a learning environment that encourages creative problem-solving.  Students benefit from Maryland’s vast resources, including libraries, computer and instructional labs, and recreational, residential, and dining facilities.

The Young Scholars Program offers over 20 courses in subject areas that are at the cutting-edge of theory, thought, and technology.  You’ll enroll in one 3-credit course, selecting from the following subject areas: Architecture and Urban Planning, Creative Expression, The Business of Technology, The Environment, Science and Engineering, Communication, Exploring the Past, Public Health and Wellness, and Our Changing Society.  Each course has an enrollment limit ranging from 15 to 40 students.
