The College of Arts and Sciences serves as the intellectual core of the university, offering study in fine and performing arts, humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, and social sciences. We offer 45 undergraduate majors and minors, a self-designed major program, and six graduate degree programs. The College of Arts and Sciences is large and diverse with more than 3,100 undergraduate majors and 300 graduate students. But our class sizes are small and faculty members are actively engaged with their students. Our students routinely participate in faculty research projects, internships, artistic endeavors, service learning projects, and study abroad programs.

USM Students Awarded Four New Dean's Scholarships

September 13, 2010

Four University of Southern Maine students have been awarded new Dean’s Scholarships of $1,000 each, renewable for up to four years.

The recipients, all of whom are freshmen, are: Jordan Maroon, an English major from Winslow; Siri Norman, a linguistics major from Auburn; Janson O’Neill, a chemistry major from Biddeford; and Jacob White, a theatre major from Turner.

The Dean’s Scholarships are based on proven academic achievement and are eligible for renewal as long as recipients earn a minimum grade point average of 3.0 each fall and spring semester.

The scholarships were made possible thanks to the support of individuals who serve on the university’s Arts and Sciences Advisory Board.  “We are fortunate to have community advisors from various fields and professions who care deeply enough about this university to offer us their guidance and who also want to support our students through their financial contributions,” said Dean Lynn Kuzma.
