Discover USM

Possibilities that drive you…

…the way you live, the way you learn, aren’t separate. You’re in a constant state of discovery and you’re looking for a place where who you are and what you want come together. A place like the University of Southern Maine.

A place for you


The University of Southern Maine serves its 10,000 plus students from its southern Maine campus with two hubs in Portland and nearby Gorham. Spending time at both, you live the Maine lifestyle to the fullest. Jump into the energy of our vibrant cosmopolitan city on the waterfront full of shopping, art, music, dining, and career opportunities and find inspiration in the open spaces, forested acres, mountains, lakes, and beaches for which our state is famous.

About 30 minutes from our southern Maine hubs, USM serves a nontraditional student population at our Lewiston-Auburn campus. Find out more about the unique interdisciplinary programs offered at this close-knit campus.
