Office of Educator Preparation

USM’s School of Education and Human Development Accredited by CAEP. The University of Southern Maine is the first institution in the University of Maine System to achieve national accreditation for both its initial and advanced educator preparation programs.

Persistence through a pandemic: Celebrating the upside of a decade-long partnership between University of Southern Maine and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine.
