About the University of Southern Maine (USM):

Evolving from Gorham Academy into an institution of higher education, USM originated in 1878 as Gorham Normal School. In 1970 that institution merged with the University of Maine at Portland (previously Portland Junior College) and became the University of Maine at Portland-Gorham (UMPG). The name was changed to University of Southern Maine in 1978. The Lewiston-Auburn campus was founded in 1988. USM offers baccalaureate and master's degree programs as well as doctoral programs in Public Policy and School Psychology. Graduate study is available at the Masters and Doctoral level through the School of Business, School of Education and Human Development, Muskie School of Public Service, School of Social Work, School of Music, School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Nursing, and the School of Environmental, Health, and Life Sciences.
