Interested in joining a supportive learning community to help you thrive at USM?
We can help with that.
Russell Scholars is a unique community that helps you make academic and social connections as you complete the Core Curriculum requirements.
All majors welcome.
Residential Option: Live in the “penthouse” in Woodward Hall, a dormitory specially for transfer students!
Our engaging, hands-on classes provide an opportunity to get to know your peers and faculty.
Satisfy several Core requirements in your RSP transfer semester:
RSP 102 Academic Writing (WRI 2), 3 cr.
RSP 199 Topics: Picturing Place (CE), 3 cr.
RSP 325 Into the Wild: Environmental Thinking 1960-present (WRI 3 and Ethical Inquiry), 3 cr.
Taking at least two of these courses together gives you an integrated academic experience.
Beyond this, you can take classes in any department as you pursue your major.
