PARIS — Educators and students at all levels seeking courses toward teacher certification or recertification can choose from a growing number of courses offered at University College at South Paris for the Spring 2014 semester, which begins this January. Courses are taught by University of Maine System faculty at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Most of the courses are delivered online. Students without high-speed Internet access can participate in the courses at University College’s well-equipped computer lab. Staff at the center offer support to all students who are new to online learning.

“Each semester we offer a wide variety of education courses online and at our center,” said Nikki Abbott, director of University College at South Paris. “We are excited to offer courses and programs in our community that will allow people with busy schedules to become certified as Maine teachers.”

University College also makes available certification programs in special education and elementary education from the UMS campuses.

Registration for the spring courses is open and ongoing. Call 743-9322 for more information. To view a complete listing of education courses, visit www.learn.maine.edu/southparis.
