University of Maine at Farmington
About
As Maine’s premier public liberal arts college, the University of Maine at Farmington (UMF) is nationally recognized for its historic, top-tier teacher education majors, as well as highly regarded programs in creative writing, rehabilitation services, and outdoor recreation business administration. The student experience is defined by a close-knit, collaborative campus culture where small class sizes allow for personalized mentorship from dedicated faculty who teach rather than research. What truly sets UMF apart is its spectacular location in the western Maine foothills—offering students unparalleled access to four-season outdoor recreation and skiing at nearby Sugarloaf—alongside its distinctive four-credit curriculum, which allows students to focus more deeply on fewer classes per semester.
