Why USM's Model Matters

USM is built around the idea that students should be supported as whole people. That includes academic help, career coaching, spiritual life, residential living and a strong sense of community.

For many students, that kind of environment can make the transition into university life much easier and less intimidating.

Global And Career Opportunities

USM's international student page says the university works closely with students to make admissions as simple as possible. The campus is also near a major metro area, which can help students look beyond campus for work, internships and cultural experiences.

How To Make The Most Of USM

Students should:

• Use the KLC early
• Join clubs and activities quickly
• Take advantage of residence life
• Look for internships and hands-on experiences
• Use the career support team from the start
• Explore campus ministry or service opportunities if that fits their goals

USM rewards students who get involved and use the university's support systems early.
