The Maine Center for Graduate Professional Studies has landed a $500,000 grant from the Harold Alfond Foundation, the University of Maine System said Thursday.
The Maine Center Initiative was launched in 2015 with the goal of bringing University of Maine System graduate programs together under one roof.
The realization of that idea – the Maine Center for Graduate Professional Studies – will be located at a to-be-determined site in Portland. It would house the University of Maine School of Law, the graduate business programs that now operate at the University of Southern Maine and UMaine in Orono, and the graduate programs in public health and in public policy and management that now operate at the Muskie school at USM. It also would house the Cutler Institute for Health and Policy, which is the research arm of USM and part of the Muskie school on the Portland campus.
The $500,000 would go for “strategic development” of the plan, the UMS statement said.
