USM Travel Courses

Take off on a USM travel course! USM is proud to offer summer and winter session travel courses that take you out of Maine and take learning on the road.

You'll travel with a group of USM students and faculty members to another part of the U.S. or another country where you'll attend lectures, visit museums, and have field trips. These courses typically offer 3-6 credits and travel varies from one to four weeks in length. Many of the courses offer core credit.

Travel courses are a great opportunity if you don’t have a lot of travel experience, the time or money for a semester abroad, or if you have academic constraints keeping you from a semester abroad. Travel courses are a fanastic way to go beyond the classroom and discover the world. Where in the world will you study?
