Welcome to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Learning that Lasts a Lifetime

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the intellectual heart of the University of Maine. Through a liberal arts education, students acquire the means for discovering, navigating, and thinking critically about the rich physical, intellectual, and cultural environments that surround them.

Our renowned faculty are at the forefront of artistic and creative endeavors, innovation, and basic and applied research. In classrooms, in the field, in the lab and on stage, at the computer, in the art studio, and in discussion circles, these faculty members engage students in learning experiences that develop a student’s awareness of what it means and takes to be a citizen and a steward of one’s community and of our world.

This is an education that lasts a lifetime.
