USM Honors
Interdisciplinary Education for a Changing World

"Our classes are intimate. You get to know your fellow students, how they think and tick. You also get close with the professors. You know where to turn if you need help or advice. It's an environment that stimulates thought and bravery. Yes, you are challenged but it's a good challenge. Being a part and completing the Honors program is one of the most rewarding experiences I've had at USM." -Mary Jones, Class of 2008
