The program is a specialization within the Education Ph.D. in the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development (COEHD) and governed by an interdisciplinary committee consisting of STEM education faculty associated with COEHD and the Maine Center for Research in STEM Education (RiSE Center). <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d\"]{font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading27205_8ff21d-6d\">The program prepares students for faculty positions in STEM education research. It consists of coursework, as well as mentored and independent research culminating in a dissertation research study. Students complete a common core of required courses, as well as courses specific to their focus within STEM education research. In the program\u2019s initial years, all students will be full-time graduate students funded by assistantships from within participating colleges and departments. In future years the core program of full-time students may be augmented by exceptionally qualified part-time students.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading27205_b0cf15-78,
