U.S. Ambassador to Morocco Dwight Bush, Sr. was also expected to attend the ceremony for the only American higher education institution in the country.
Twenty-three students have been studying there since January.
LePage’s office has said he will also seek trade opportunities for Maine during the trip.
The governor is expected to return to Maine later this week ahead of the state’s Republican Party convention, which kicks off in Bangor on Friday.
