Helen P. Denit Honors Program

The Helen P. Denit Honors Program is designed for students who have demonstrated an interest, willingness, and ability to engage in higher order learning.  Through our courses and co-curricular activities, we prepare our students for the 21st century by empowering them with the skills and habits of mind necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing and increasingly interdependent world.  We challenge our students to apply knowledge to new issues and questions, teach them to navigate and act responsibly within and across a variety of contexts, and help them to judge when and how to use technology effectively.  Our distinctive courses are small and focus on learning by discussing and doing.  We encourage student development outside of the classroom by financially supporting students to, among other things, travel to conferences, participate in study abroad, and engage in internships.  We also fund student involvement on campus and in the rich cultural life of Baltimore’s midtown and downtown districts.  Finally, belonging to the Denit Honors Program provides students with access to the Denit Honors Lounge and all of its resources.

The Helen P. Denit Business Honors Program, a division of the university-wide Helen P. Denit Honors Program, offers special opportunities for students seeking a career in business, including honors sections of required business courses, exclusive alumni networking events, exceptional internships, field trips to prospective employers, and honors mentors.  Within the business honors program, the honors accounting program offers co-curricular programming and activities designed particularly for accounting students.
