The Ford Focus Project was a real winner!
Sharon Bannon and Michael Harrison are the academic advisors for all School of Business undergraduate students.
Graduate students are advised by Alice Cash at (207) 780-4020.
More information is available on the websites for Masters in Business Administration, Masters in Accounting, The Dual Degree or the 3-2 program pages.
Your advisors will assist you in pursuing your educational goals by helping you plan each semester's courses, explaining core and departmental requirements, and reviewing your academic progress. They can also provide information on available concentrations and minors within the school and direct you to resources and options outside the school. It is your responsibility, as the student, to know degree requirements as defined in the USM catalog, but your advisors want to help you with your questions and can refer you to the appropriate campus resources for further assistance when needed.
