Welcome to Husson University. For over 117 years, our remarkable institution of higher learning has transformed students' lives. We do this by inspiring and preparing students for professional careers in current and emerging fields as part of an education informed by the sciences and humanities. At Husson, you will be a part of a tight-knit learning community that's dedicated to providing students with the individual attention they deserve. While our class sizes might be small, the impact we make on students' lives is enormous. That is because Husson students are allowed to engage in experiential learning and assume leadership positions as they build close relationships with their fellow students and professors. Hands-on learning is essential here at Husson University. We have been recognized nationally as one of the Top 10 educational institutions in the country with the highest student internships rate. Our emphasis on experiential learning helps ensure that you will have the practical, professional experience you will need to succeed after graduation. You will also find that Husson University is affordable. We are the lowest net-priced private four-year college in Maine, accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). With our no-nonsense approach to tuition, international students, out-of-state students, and Maine all pay the same low price making Husson an excellent value for everyone. The Academic Services staff members serve as advisers to students who have not yet declared a central area of study and provide advice and guidance on academic requirements. They offer assistance with study skills and time management and utilize early intervention strategies to guide students in need of support before it is too late. They offer assistance with college adjustment, facilitate contacts with tutors in the Learning Center and Writing Center, and assist with referrals to other appropriate University resources. Academic Services also coordinates Husson's First Year Experience course - the Husson Experience (HE 111) - a required, one-credit course explicitly designed to assist first-year students in making successful transitions to college life. The Husson Experience facilitates knowledge of Husson's academic policies and procedures and the academic and social resources needed for success and engagement with the college community. Students also complete an in-depth career exploration project. The Husson Experience course is taught by faculty in each of the University's Schools/Colleges and Academic Services staff. From developing faculty panels to assist students in exploring lesser-known majors to collaborate with career services to offer career exploration tools, to hosting mini-orientations specifically for students still exploring possible majors, Academic Services staff advises students every step of the way registering for classes to declaring a central area of study. Learning at the college level is different, and there are better ways to get through coursework. Sometimes it is, "Study smarter, not harder," and Academic Services staff is here to guide students' efforts. Husson Career Services helps students and alumni make informed career decisions, connect with employers, pursue further education, and develop their professional lives and goals. We do this by guiding careers, majors, internships, job search, graduate school advising, using social media, and much more. Please get started by signing up on our Husson Eagle Career Link through the College Central Network, where we post jobs, internships, and all of our events. Career Services partners with employers to help them fill full-time, internship, and part-time opportunities with our students and alumni. We provide career fairs and interview days and help you connect with faculty to do classroom presentations. You can post jobs for free on our Husson Eagle Career Link through College Central Network. Husson University is committed to providing equitable educational opportunities to all students. Therefore, to advance Husson University's mission of transforming student lives and preparing students for professional careers, Husson offers a range of learning accommodations and services to any student with a disability who requests and qualifies for accommodations. If a student has a disability, they must provide appropriate documentation of the disability to the Disability Services office and initiate contact with that office to begin the process of receiving accommodations. Students will meet with a Disability Services staff member to request accommodations, and the staff member will determine if the requested accommodations are reasonable at the college level. The Dean of Student Success will review any unusual accommodation requests with the dean or director of the student's program to ensure that the accommodation would not substantially alter any course or program requirements. Each semester, the student will be provided with letters detailing their accommodations to give to their instructors. The student's responsibility is to meet with Disability Services each semester to update and receive new letters. As noted above, classroom accommodations cannot substantially alter any course or program requirements. For clinical placements, internships, laboratory, student teaching, and other out-of-classroom experiences, accommodations are reevaluated and do not necessarily match classroom accommodations. International students will find a full range of support and advocacy services. Academic support such as tutoring and writing instruction is available through the Learning and Writing Centers. A designated Student Success Advisor will assist international students in academic as well as personal advising. Additionally, international students can access Immigration and Visa Services, orientation programming, peer mentors, and Career Services through the Student Success office Center.
