“What sets apart the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Maine from other institutions is the support students receive. Having the Advising Center available to me every day of the week provides me with the guidance I need to succeed the way I have. I can walk in anytime and ask questions ranging from classes, field placements, to professional development advice. In addition, the faculty and staff in the College are an amazing source of knowledge. They use the experiences they have had in the field to mentor their students. Thanks to the support from the College, I can graduate from UMaine with the tools I need to be successful.”

Graduate opportunities in Education and Human Development at the University of Maine provide:
- high quality teaching
- individual student needs addressed
- sound preparation for future careers
“Although my graduate school coursework proved beneficial, my professor’s expectations for me to research topics I faced in my own classroom proved to be some of my best learning in UMaine’s College of Education and Human Development. Had I not been in a graduate program, I would not have had the time, support or resources necessary to undertake such studies. As I move forward in my teaching career, I now truly realize that teaching is a journey, not a destination; there’s always more learning, always more questions. UMaine has prepared me for both.”
