"I came on campus with my mom
and thought it was a beautiful place. We went to Acadia
National Park and I really loved it. The people at UMaine
are amazing. They're just very nice and very considerate. So
many people here really want you to get the best experience
out of UMaine."

Explorations... discover the
major for you.
A unique program for students who are not ready to select an
academic major. Students take a first-year seminar taught by an
academic adviser, enabling them to make an informed choice about a
major or potential career. Explorations can help students choose
the right major while exploring their abilities, interests and
goals.
Transitions... your path to a
successful college experience.
Transitions is an intensive program offering a select group of
students a focused collegiate experience. Transitions students
take a maximum of 10 credits the first semester and meet regularly
with an adviser during the first two semesters. Students must meet
a minimum GPA of 2.0 at the end of the first year to successfully
complete their program and transfer to a major in one of the five
colleges.
Pre-professional Programs
Health Professions
Students regularly participate in research laboratory studies with
faculty members. UMaine also places qualified undergraduates with
physicians and other professionals at the Eastern Maine Medical
Center to job shadow and learn firsthand about the challenges of a
medical career. The university's health professions specialist
provides support services to students who are planning to attend
medical school or other professional schools. Graduating health
professions students have access to the Gilbert Loan Program,
which provides low-interest loans to UMaine graduates who enroll
in medical, dental or veterinary schools.
Pre-Law
A special adviser works with students and the academic advisers
from the student's major program and provides counsel during the
law school admission process.
