Lewiston-Auburn College of the University of Southern Maine
is committed to being a national leader in interdisciplinary
education, to serving as a resource for the community, and
to providing an outstanding educational experience for its
students through degree programs that are responsive to changing
cultural and workplace demands and are available to a non-traditional
and diverse student body.
The aim of the college is to increase the educational preparedness
of the people of central Maine for meeting the challenges
of our dramatically changing, global and pluralistic world.
The curriculum is marked by integration between the liberal
arts disciplines, between the liberal arts, the professional
concentrations and the workplace, and between the college
and the community. We hire and retain faculty who embrace
a teaching philosophy that emphasizes student-centered learning,
analytical and creative thinking, effective oral expression
and writing across the entire curriculum. The college makes
a rigorous liberal arts education available to students of
varying levels of readiness in order to foster in them a sense
of ethical and civic responsibility, a disposition toward
lifelong learning, and the capacity to live responsible, creative
and productive lives.
