OVERVIEW
You never know where a connection might take you. Our connections between faculty, students and alumni run deep; University of Southern Maine (USM) is everywhere you need it to be. If cost alone were the key measure of value, USM would be a great buy. But affordability, academic quality, range of undergraduate and graduate choices, and an unwavering commitment to your success all add up to make USM one of the best higher education values available in the Northeast region.
Courses that average 25 to a classroom are part of the equation for a great education. At USM, you’ll experience a mix of small classes, lectures, and seminars.
