Located in the town of Orono along the banks of the Stillwater River, the University of Maine offers a strong traditional education at an affordable price.  You're in a great place here.  UMaine is one of New England's premier universities.  We help students create success stories—with a wide variety of programs and opportunities—and we do so with world-class faculty members, nationally recognized research; first-rate facilities; a friendly, safe atmosphere; and easy access to some of the best year-round recreation sites in the nation.

At UMaine, you'll enjoy the world through 88 bachelor's degree programs, 64 master's degree programs, and 25 doctoral programs.  Our library is ranked among the top in the country, we have one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious Honors College programs, and our students enjoy hands-on research, even at the undergraduate level. 

Of course, nothing compares to visiting our campus in person and we hope you'll do so soon.  In the meantime, tour UMaine through our family of Web sites.  In them, you'll discover UMaine's story.
