The College of Education and Human Development and allied programs in art, music, and applied science at the University of Southern Maine prepare professionals for teaching, counseling, school psychology, administration, and teacher leadership. The content knowledge, skills, and understandings needed for theses areas form the heart of our programs. Common to all of these fields is an emphasis on Connections and Partnerships, Reflection and Critical Inquiry, Diversity, and Performance Assessment. Students and faculty examine the connections between theory and practice through on-going, reciprocal relationships with schools, agencies, and businesses.
