University of Southern Maine
The institution now known as the University of Southern Maine (USM) has been many things to many people since first opening its doors to the public in late December of 1878. A regional normal school. A state teachers college. A junior business college. An extension of the state’s land grant institution. One of seven institutions created through a merger of Gorham State Teachers College and the University of Maine at Portland as part of a newly created University of Maine System.
Today, the University of Southern Maine, northern New England's outstanding public, regional, comprehensive university, is dedicated to providing its 9,700 students with a high-quality, accessible, affordable education. Through its 115 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, USM faculty members educate future leaders in the liberal arts and sciences, engineering and technology, health and social services, education, business, law, and public service.
As a public, regional, comprehensive university, our mission places us at the heart of this region's future. USM students will be the artists, business people, engineers, health care workers, public servants, teachers and others whose talents will fuel our economy—and shape tomorrow's world.
