Accreditors Note Strength of LAC Grad Program
USM's master's program in Occupational Therapy, offered at
Lewiston-Auburn College, recently won high praise from a national
accrediting body. The Accreditation Council for Occupational
Therapy Education, a national group that awarded a seven-year
accreditation to the LAY graduate program, said it was "one
of the strongest" they'd reviewed. The accreditors also cited
LAC's "extremely well-prepared" students; the faculty's "dedication
to the students" and the the health care community's "investment
and commitment to the program."

The OT program has been growing steadily since its initiation
in 1995. Overall, Lewiston-Auburn College has been experiencing
significant yearly growth. Just this spring, USM enrollment
on the LA campus grew by 4.5 percent. First year student applications
(vs. transfer students) are up 300 percent compared with 1999.
New teacher education and entry-level nursing programs have
been added at the undergraduate level, and a master's in leadership
studies is scheduled to open in fall 2003. For more information
