| Services: | The University of Maine at Farmington serves a statewide mission as Maine’s public liberal arts college. It offers the educational experiences typically found at selective private colleges to bright and ambitious students from Maine and beyond. UMF is committed to the belief that a liberal education in a residential setting is the best preparation for careers and for citizenship. Because all graduates, including those who have studied in pre-professional programs, are liberally educated, they are creative problem solvers who have learned how to learn and how to work on complex challenges with people from a variety of backgrounds and fields.
UMF offers baccalaureate programs of high quality in the arts and sciences, education, and human services. Approach to education is based on the belief that students must have opportunities to form meaningful relationships with inspiring teachers. They must be challenged to be active citizens in a campus community that helps them find their own voices, teaches them the humility to seek wisdom from others, and prepares them for ongoing explorations of how knowledge can be put to use for the common good. |
