This University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. So is Dartmouth and Bates. If people whine about having culture issues at this college remember that you are students. You contribute to USM's on campus life. If you want to find a job and are concerned about your salary take into consideration that your advisor is not responsible for that. You may find that on Government listed sites. They are there to make sure you take the right classes in order to graduate. It is not a community college. Be aware.

The University Faculty at the School of Business are extremely arrogant and act as if they are teaching at an Ivy League University. They chose favorites and ignore the rest. Good luck with advising as well, you'd be lucky to spend your years there being able to correspond with them more than twice. The Financial Aid Office is always making mistakes at the cost of the students. The student billing office should work for the mafia as well. If you wish to have a student voice, stay far away from this school.

I went to USM's School of Music and had a great experience. There is a LOT that needs to be changed though. First of all, and this is in no way the fault of the SOM, they need a new building. New practice rooms, new performance spaces, new overall facilities.
Secondly, they need to teach more about business and how to survive in the world as a musician, teacher, etc. HOW TO MANAGE MONEY, MAKE MONEY, NOT GET RIPPED OFF.
And the advising is awful. You might as well go to advising services and skip the whole "professor trying to double duty advise".
All that being said, it's a close knit community and while you're actually in school, there is a lot to be involved in. Once you get out, you're on your own.
