Overview

The Secondary Education programme at The University of Maine is tailored to prospective teachers interested in working with students in grades 6-12. The College of Education and Human Development’s strong partnerships with K-12 schools allows our students to combine what they learned in their courses at the state’s largest and most comprehensive teacher preparation and training program with field experiences tailored to meet their personal and professional goals.

Career

In addition to becoming certified to teach in middle and high school classrooms in the United States and internationally, graduates may work in non-school settings, such as research centers, museums and nonprofit agencies. Our students acquire skills they can use in a variety of careers, including the ability to collaborate, to work effectively in team environments, and to communicate clearly. In addition, graduates may pursue careers in schools outside the traditional classroom role, such as a technology integrator.

For those students wishing to continue on to graduate school, a degree in secondary education is preparation for a variety of graduate programs. Students might pursue further work in general education, or pursue specialties such as instructional technology, special education, counselor education, educational leadership or a discipline such as science or mathematics education.
