Do you want to advance your career? Earn more money? Make a career change?

Graduate school is about more than your career - advanced education will give you skills and knowledge that you will be able to transfer to every aspect of your life.- The median U.S. earnings for individuals with a master's degree are $69,958. (Bureau of Labor Statistics Community Poll, 2008).
- The Maine Department of Labor (2010) predicts a 6.6% increase in occupations requiring a master's degree. The news is not so good for bachelor's degree holders with experience, where demand is projected to decrease by -1.4%.
- Master's degree holders are half as likely to experience unemployment, with a 4.0% unemployment rate in 2010, compared to the national average of 8.2% (Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey, 2010).
