The University and Region: Established in 1864 as Maine's first public institution of higher education, with historic and continued strength in teacher education and a contemporary role as Maine’s public liberal arts college, the University of Maine Farmington offers undergraduate programs in arts and sciences, teacher education, and human services.  UMF has reorganized its curriculum to enhance opportunities for in-depth study and undergraduate research, and it recently launched its first graduate degree program, an M.S.Ed., in order to meet the needs of practicing teachers in the region.  In 2007 the university opened an exciting new academic facility, a LEED-certified “green” building that houses our programs in education and human services.  This commitment to sustainability informs all facilities projects, including a new Arts Center, which is currently being designed.  UMF, which has the highest graduation rates in the University of Maine System, has been recognized for high levels of student engagement as measured by the National Survey of Student Engagement.  The campus culture has been described as one of “positive restlessness.”   UMF is a founding member of COPLAC, the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges, which includes 25 public colleges and universities dedicated to the liberal arts tradition and quality undergraduate education.  The Farmington area is rich in cultural offerings and recreational opportunities.  The natural beauty of its mountains, lakes, woods, and streams draws people to the region, which is also noted for its snow, blackflies, and April mud season.  Please check out our home page at:  www.umf.maine.edu.
