Undergraduate Curriculum

The undergraduate curriculum at USM (with the exception of Associate Degree programs) consists of 2 main components: the Core and the major. Any credit hours (out of the required minimum of 120) that are not absorbed by these two components can be devoted to a minor, a second major, or general electives.

The purpose of the curriculum as a whole is to help the student develop the intellectual skills and the knowledge and understanding they will need to thrive in a challenging world.

A minimum of 120 credits (60 credits for an Associate degree) and a G.P.A of 2.0 are required to graduate.
