 A “Hearty Maine Hello” from the University of Maine, located on Marsh Island in the homeland of Penobscot Nation, and the University of Maine at Machias, our regional campus located in the territory of the Passamaquoddy.
Countless exciting and fulfilling learning experiences await you here. We offer more than 90 majors and upwards of 100 programs, and world-class faculty dedicated to empowering you and helping you succeed. We are student-centered and community-engaged, and have a foundational commitment to diversity, equity and inclusive excellence.
Hands-on instruction is key to who we are, whether it happens in the labs, in the forests, on the coast, at the office or anywhere in the world. For many of you, that begins in the first year with our Research Learning Experiences. RLEs focus on education through creation, with students engaged in research, artistic exploration, problem-solving and community. No matter what year of study you’re about to begin, I hope that you take full advantage of the breadth and dpth of learning opportunities offered by the state’s only R1 top-tier research university.
Please also take time to explore the many clubs, activities and beautiful natural landscapes offered at our university and throughout the state of Maine. Scuba dive in the Gulf of Maine and paddle the Penobscot River. Rescue stranded seals and reconstruct the skeletons of large marine animals. Write a play and see it performed on stage. Tour with the University Singers. Hike Mount Katahdin, explore the Cutler Coast, or join the eSports club. Visit the Multicultural Center. Hone your reporting skills at Maine Campus Media. Get involved in our local community. Serve in Student Government. Intern in Augusta and Washington, D.C.
UMaine and UMaine Machias are part of the University of Maine System, the only statewide public higher education institution nationwide with unified accreditation, fostering academic program collaboration among the seven UMS universities and the Law school and additional learning opportunities for students.
For almost 160 years, UMaine has welcomed and championed trailblazers. We’re dedicated to advancing the state and the planet with inspired teaching, meaningful research, technological innovation and public service. We want to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to succeed in your education, your career goals and throughout your life.
We are thrilled to have you here and eager to witness all you’ll do as a Black Bear. Define your tomorrow at UMaine!
