University of Southern Maine
What does it mean to attend school in a cosmopolitan city like Portland? Well imagine emerging from class for lunch at a sleek downtown eatery, interning at a business in one or our downtown office high rises, doing a clinical location at the local hospital, writing a paper based on an art show at one of our many galleries, or grabbing a cup of coffee at one of our numerous downtown coffee shops and heading over to your Thursday night jazz gig at one of Old Port’s well attended clubs. Anywhere you turn, there’s an opportunity to do what you love to do, learn more about yourself and what you’re capable of, and have a great time while you’re doing it.
And with our partnerships in Portland, around Maine and the rest of the country, you have access to some of the top internships available: working for a member of the U.S. Congress, conducting research in a medical center or lab, assisting a developer for community planning and development, working on environmental issues, learning the art or music business by working at a gallery or concert hall, building your creative credentials by participating in an art show, playing with the symphony, or performing on the stage. If you’re ready to get out there, we’ll connect you with the place where you can get the experience you need for the career you want.
It’s the way your life blends seamlessly, from the classroom, to the city, to the hands-on opportunity you want. And it’s all right here.
