The University of Maine is
the University of Maine System’s flagship campus. Located in the town of Orono,
UMaine was founded in 1865 and stands as Maine’s only land- and sea-grant
institution. Over 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students from all over the
world come here each semester to achieve their highest aspirations. Backed by
our nationally recognized faculty, state-of-the-art learning facilities and 184
programs of study, they are challenged to do their best work on a vibrant campus
that houses the state’s largest library. UMaine is one of the safest campuses in
the Northeast, boasting low student-faculty ratios, hands-on research for
graduates and undergraduates, and a terrific quality of life filled with
year-round recreational opportunities.
