Maine Studies offers students an opportunity to specialize in the study of Maine through courses in history, literature, women’s studies, Franco-American studies, Native American studies, political science, geology, and other disciplines. The Maine Studies program recognizes the value of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding historical and contemporary issues such as developing Maine’s economy, protecting its environment, and appreciating the cultures of the state’s diverse population. Courses in Maine Studies will lead teachers, government workers, service providers and business people to a greater understanding of Maine’s past and present. Students with a general interest in Maine will gain an enriched appreciation for the state’s land and people, the history and culture, the flora and fauna.
A minimum of 18 credits or 6 Maine-related courses are required. In addition to the courses listed below, students may also make special arrangements for readings courses, independent studies, or field studies.
