Honors Program

Freshman Experience

As a freshman in the Stevenson University Honors Program, you will get the chance to be part of a vibrant living and learning community with other similarly motivated and talented students.

You will start your first semester off by moving into the residence halls early and meeting your fellow Honors students and Honors faculty by taking a trip to explore Hampden and visit the American Visionary Art Museum, both of which exemplify different parts of Baltimore’s cultural scene.

Over the course of the year, you and your fellow students will live together, take Honors sections of general education courses and Honors 100 together, and participate in events designed by the student-led Honors Council.

You’ll also have the opportunity to attend the Baltimore Speakers Series as the guests of President Hirshman and meet distinguished leaders, scholars, and prominent cultural figures such as David Cameron, James Comey, Lisa Genova, Robin Wright, and Rick Steves.

Your freshman year will culminate in an celebratory event marking the completion of the first year of the program.

Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Years

Over your next three years, you will have a variety of Honors experiences both inside and outside the classroom. You will continue your Honors coursework while fulfilling general education and major requirements and cap off your academic experience with Honors 400, which allows you to explore your creativity and work with fellow Honors students from all different disciplines in a semester-long project-based class that asks you to work as a team to tackle a real-world problem/challenge.

You will be also be able to participate in sophomore and junior service/experiential learning experiences, specialized Career Services events designed to help you market your Honors experience to employers, and various social events.
