USM Honors
Interdisciplinary Education for a Changing World

"Our classes are intimate. You get to know your fellow students, how they think and tick. You also get close with the professors. You know where to turn if you need help or advice. It's an environment that stimulates thought and bravery (for those of us who are shy). Being part of the Honors Program was what kept me going at USM. My first semester I wasn't very happy, Honors was a light. Students should not be intimidated. Yes, you are challenged but it's a good challenge. Being a part and completing the Honors program is one of the most rewarding experiences I've had at USM." -Mary Jones, Class of 2008

Welcome!

Honors is more than a series of courses. It is a creative, social, academic community centered at the Honors House on the Portland Campus. Speakers, seminars, discussion panels, presentations, conferences and social events throughout the year bring together faculty, staff and a student population averaging 100 members in a friendly and democratic atmosphere.

We are now accepting applications for fall 2008. Please explore our site and the opportunities we offer.
