SBS graduates enjoy success in a wide range of professional
positions...
Panel discussion of graduates from the SBS program, "Putting Your SBS Degree To Work"
In addition to serving as a strong foundation for admission
into a range of graduate school programs, the SBS degree has
prepared students and aided in career advancement in a wide
variety of professions in human services, mental health, education
and business. SBS graduates occupy positions throughout public
and private sectors in Maine. The list below is a sampling
of positions held by USM LAC alumni, from a survey of graduates
and other information gathered informally. Most all of these positions
were held without completion of a graduate degree. This list
demonstrates both the versatility of the degree and that it
can prepare students for immediate entry into careers in the
mental health and other human service professions.
