Below are programs supported by UMaine and HELP University that are available to HELP University students.

UMaine’s Business Administration programs are accredited by AACSB-International.

• HELP Foundation of Arts program to UMaine’s BA in Psychology 3+1.5 agreement

The University of Maine’s psychology major is designed to foster a scientific understanding of behavior by exploring the wide range of factors that shape it — from molecules to the brain as a whole, from sensory input to reasoning, and from genetics to social and cultural influences. Students explore how behavior develops from infancy to old age and what it means for a behavior to be considered pathological.

This agreement identifies how individual HELP University courses transfer to UMaine.

Please note: These agreements are frequently renewed and may at times be under renewal. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your academic adviser at HELP University or the UMaine Office of International Programs.
