Virtual & Online Experiences
We’re proud of our diverse academic community and we want you to experience it! When it’s not possible to meet in person — and while we’re suspending on-campus visits to protect the well-being of our visitors and the University — we offer online and virtual experiences so you can connect with us and learn more about the University of Southern Maine (USM).
