THE MASTER’S PROGRAM
The University of Maine’s Graduate School application
information is online and downloadable applications are available
on the web at: http://www2.umaine.edu/graduate/article.php?id=63. Applicants
are required to submit the application including the statement
of purpose, 3 references who can address the applicant’s
potential for graduate level academic work, scores from either
the Graduate Record Examination or the Miller Analogy Test,
and transcripts of prior academic work. At the appropriate
line in the application, you should note that you are applying
to the Student Development in Higher Education Program. Also,
please indicate whether or not you would like to pursue your
studies full-time or part-time.
Information and an online or downloadable application to
the Graduate School can be found at http://www2.umaine.edu/graduate/article.php?id=63.
Applicants often ask about expectation of prior coursework
and GRE scores. We stress that we consider the overall application
with each component adding to a full picture of an applicant’s
promise. For general reference, however, the grade
point average for prior graduate study should generally equal
or exceed 3.0. Combined scores on the quantitative
and verbal subtests should generally equal or exceed 1,000
with a 4.5 for master’s applicants on the analytic
writing component of the GRE. Evidence that GRE scores
lower than 1,000 are inconsistent with an applicant’s
record of strong academic and professional achievement will
be considered in assessing the application.
