Husson University
Husson University (formerly called Husson College) is a private, post-secondary learning institution located in Bangor, Maine. Founded in 1898 as the Shaw Business School, it wasn’t until after WW-II when the high quality of education that the business school provided finally became well-known and enrollment began to swell.
Today, the university offers Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s and doctoral degrees in various majors through its distinguished Schools of Business, Education, Health, Law, Pharmacy, Science and Humanities, and Extended Learning – Continuing Education. The latter allows students to complete their degrees at a place and time convenient for them. For this purpose, the university maintains education centers in South Portland, Presque Isle, and just recently, The Boat School in Eastport, Maine, as well as Unobskey College, located in Calais, Maine.
