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.
