History
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. In the sixties, Husson purchased a dairy farm, cleaned it up, and built a beautiful campus. In 1981, the College established the Husson College/Eastern Maine Medical Center Baccalaureate School of Nursing. Husson today offers numerous undergraduate degrees and many innovative advanced degree programs, as well a diverse selection of core science and humanities courses. As of October 11, 2008, Husson is now a University but continues to maintain that small college feel.
Today, Husson graduates are in leaderships positions all over the country and the world.
