Advanced Degrees of Innovation

Located in Portland but serving students and employers statewide, the University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center brings together programs in law, business, and public policy to train the workforce of the future and grow Maine’s economy. The Maine Center and its affiliated programs develop cross-disciplinary, experiential, and market-driven programming for graduate students in its three focus disciplines.
