Departmental or Program Requirements
The College requires that every baccalaureate degree student fulfill the requirements of the university’s Core Curriculum and major program as noted in the catalog section devoted to each department’s or school’s majors. These requirements may be greater than the College minimum requirements. Students interested in a double major should consult the appropriate departments or schools and obtain a Declaration of Major form from the Office of Registration and Scheduling Services. The requirements for graduate programs are listed in the catalog section of the individual department or school.
Commitment to Civility
The concepts of community and social justice are central to the mission and philosophy of the University of Southern Maine College of Science, Technology, and Health. Faculty, students, and staff are committed to promoting a healthy and just environment that supports transformative learning, academic integrity, open communication, and personal and professional growth among the diverse members of our academic community. We believe that these commitments are grounded in intellectual openness, in personal and professional accountability, and in the democratic values of inclusion and mutual respect that are guided by rational discourse and by a relational ethic of care. Our community includes peoples of diverse ethnic, racial, religious, cultural, political, and economic backgrounds as well as people who are disabled and people of different genders, sexual orientations, and ages. Our goal is to increase the awareness of students, staff, and faculty to the importance of civility, its implications, and the behaviors that are acceptable and not acceptable in our learning community. Civility is the art of treating others, as well as ourselves, with respect, dignity, and care. Civility is apparent when we are sensitive to the impact that our communications, practices, and behaviors have on others, and when we acknowledge each person’s self-worth and unique contributions to the community as a whole.
