It’s one thing to learn about the natural world in a classroom. It’s another thing entirely to learn about it in this classroom. At the University of Maine, woods, lakes, rivers and streams surround our campus. The Atlantic Ocean and the Appalachian Trail are in our back yard. But at UMaine, the great indoors is equally impressive. The College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture offers a wide variety of lab-intensive majors and state-of-the-art teaching facilities. The region’s largest hospital and leading research institutes are also nearby. Because of UMaine’s location, reputation and facilities, some of the world’s top scientists, scholars and researchers — people who could go anywhere — choose to come here.

Alumni Success Stories
Working part-time for Hampden throughout her senior year at the University of Maine as a forestry major, Heldmann tackled the town's computer system — or lack thereof. She developed a five-year, cost-saving action plan to phase in new computers and improve consistency of the 50 computers scattered throughout the town — from the municipal building to the public library.
Student Success Stories
Even in high school, Ryan Cope knew the University of Maine had a great Marine Sciences program. But when the Honeoye, N.Y., native arrived on campus, it exceeded all of her expectations.
