Healthy Chesapeake Bay

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the University of Maryland is offering multiple opportunities to visit and tour the University of Maryland this spring, including Maryland Information Sessions and Terrapin Tours. To complement these campus visits, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) is holding an Information Session on select visit days! This particular Info Session will be tailored to admitted students and therefore prospective students will be asked to opt into another Info Session. Join us to learn more about our nine undergraduate (BS & BLA) degree programs, our hands-on approach to learning, beyond the classroom experiences, and life as a Terp.

This Info Session will include a brief presentation - providing an overview of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and some UMD basics - as well time to interact with and ask questions of current AGNR students! At the mid-point of this session, guests will break out to meet with students representing their academic department/major.

Please use the registration form found at the link below for the AGNR options *only* (this will not register you for one of the University held Info Sessions or Tours). Registration will close shortly before the Info Session date, at that time, we will send information regarding location and parking. If you have questions, please contact us at FutureAGNR@umd.edu.
