Visits & 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 taking precautions 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).
Take a Virtual Tour
Take a closer look at our three campuses through our interactive, virtual tour. You decide where to go, what to see, and how long to stay!
