Since 1898, Husson has been educating Maine's leaders. Originally preparing students for commerce, teaching, and telegraphy, Husson came of age in 1953, when the State enacted legislation authorizing Husson to grant Bachelor of Science degrees. Husson purchased a dairy farm in the sixties, cleaned it up, and built a beautiful campus. In 1981, the College established the Husson College/Eastern Maine Medical Center Baccalaureate School of Nursing. Today, Husson offers numerous undergraduate degrees and many innovative advanced degree programs and a diverse selection of core science and humanities courses. On October 11, 2008, Husson became a University, but it continues to maintain its small-college feel.
