Muskie School to Offer Certificate Program in Child and
Family Policy and Management
The Edmund S. Muskie School of Public Service at the University
of Southern Maine has announced a new Certificate in Child

semester. The Certificate is designed for child and family
professionals, children's advocates, teachers, justice system
personnel and policy makers seeking greater skills related

to affect change, guide policy, and manage programs serving
children and families."
To earn the Certificate, students must complete four courses
