The University of Southern Maine (USM) promotes a diverse community with varied backgrounds and experiences to build a rich environment on our campuses. This results in a well-rounded learning community as individuals engage one another, build understanding, and learn to advocate for themselves and each other.

Our faculty members are committed to fostering a spirit of critical inquiry and civic participation - skills critical to engaging in today's world.

Located in Portland, the economic and cultural hub of Maine, USM supports sustainable development, environmental stewardship, and community involvement. Working together, we know we can make a positive difference.
