Every University of Maine degree is built on a solid foundation of courses in the liberal arts and sciences, which is why the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is so central to the UMaine experience. Here, students develop and refine the qualities they need to more fully engage with the world around them — critical thinking, curiosity, a sense of discovery, a broader perspective — no matter what discipline they choose.
