About The Core Curriculum
The USM Core and the Lewiston Auburn Common Core are USM's general education pathways for undergraduate students. The USM Core and the LAC Common Core provide integrative and practical learning experiences that prepare students for successful participation in a complex and dynamic world. Students engage with faculty, staff, and each other within and outside the classroom to:
- learn about human cultures, the natural world, and their interrelationships;
- acquire the intellectual and practical skills necessary to understand, analyze and solve complex problems, and to communicate effectively;
- develop the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the social and environmental welfare of local and global communities; and
- become independent, life-long learners.
