Where RLEs are an introduction to UMaine and your major, Advanced RLEs (ARLE) are a chance to dive deeper into your area of interest. These opportunities will prepare you for your career by helping you build:

  • Critical thinking skills
  • Relationships with peers and faculty in your major
  • Familiarity with the multiple resources at UMaine
  • Deeper connections with topics you learn in class via hands on experience
