Our Mission Statement:
The Graduate School
articulates a vision of excellence for The University of Maine graduate
community. The School is charged with serving as an advocate for
graduate education within and outside the campus community, ensuring
quality and equity across all graduate disciplines, supporting the
academic and non-academic interests of graduate students, promoting the
synergy between graduate education and research, teaching and outreach,
and ensuring that all graduate students are prepared for future
professional pursuits.

Graduate work has been available at
the University of Maine for many years. The first master's degree was
conferred in 1881; the first doctoral degree in 1960. Since 1923, graduate
work has been a separate division of the University. Today the master's
degree is offered in over 60 areas of study and the doctorate in 26 areas.
The Graduate School serves the needs
of the over 2300 graduate students enrolled at the Orono campus. Our office
(located in 2 Winslow Hall) is available to assist graduate students in both
academic and personal matters. Students are encouraged to contact this
office any time you need information or materials related to your studies.
