To us, it’s not a direction, it’s a way of life. It’s about being the first. The only. The best. It’s about reaching higher, looking deeper, thinking bigger. Because there’s nothing to gain from dreaming small.

At the University of Maine, you’ll find courses that challenge you, research that will stretch your mind and professors who demand excellence. And you will deliver.

But you’ll also have fun. You’ll make friends for life. You’ll hike and kayak and bike and ski. Or you’ll pursue your own passions.

And when you graduate, as one student says, you’ll still be the same person you are today. Just a better version.

Raise your expectations.

Proven Career SuccessWhat can you do with a UMaine degree?University of Maine alumni have gone on to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The Pulitzer Prize. The Oscar. The Tony. Become a Maine governor. Serve in the U.S. Senate. Write best-selling novels. Play for the National Football League, National Hockey League and Major League Baseball. All of that is awesome. But right about now, in this economy, you’d be happy if you could get a job after graduation. Maybe go on to grad school. Well, you’re in luck:

Last time we checked, 84 percent of recent UMaine graduates had found jobs — 65 percent full time, 19 percent part-time. And 29 percent went on to grad school.

What are they doing?Working in banks, advertising agencies, nonprofits, insurance companies, laboratories and engineering firms. Launching start-up companies. Teaching math to inner-city kids. One of them played Abe Lincoln in a Geico insurance television commercial. Another starred in the touring Broadway production of “Sweeney Todd.”

Alumni have contributed

to building America’s

infrastructure — Hoover Dam,

the Colorado Aqueduct, the

San Francisco Bay Bridge

and many more.

How did UMaine prepare them?Ninety-one percent of recent alumni who are employed in a job related to their degree said UMaine prepared them well for their career. Ninety-four percent of recent alumni enrolled in graduate school said UMaine prepared them well for their advanced degrees.

UMaine Career Center

provides career counseling

support and on-campus

career fairs.

And what is the average salary of recent undergraduate alumni?The typical salary for recent UMaine graduates was $41,400. Oh, and the engineers made around $52,000.

So, what can you do with a UMaine degree?A better question might be: What can’t you do?

Statistics are based on survey responses from Life After UMaine, administered in 2011 by UMaine’s Office of Institutional Studies.

Nine hundred secondary school counselors were surveyed to determine

which schools they believed provide the best opportunity

for success — UMaine was among their TOP 100.

Floor PlanThere are a variety of dorm room styles. The most common is the “shared room,” where two students share a room, like the example here (left). Each room includes two beds, desks, chairs, closets, dressers and one microfridge.

What’s the hottest spot on campus? UMaine’s new $25 million New Balance Student Recreation Center. This spa-like facility boasts enough free weights and cardio equipment so you’ll never have to wait in line.

Here you can work with a personal trainer, play intramural or club sports, join a pickup basketball game and take part in dozens of classes, including yoga, Zumba, kickboxing and spinning. Looking for something a little less intense? Relax in the pool, hot tub or sauna.

The Recreation Center is located right next to DeMeritt Forest’s 24+ km of trails. Strap on your rented skis or snowshoes, and access the trails just a few steps from the back door.

What is an ISC Pathway Program?

YES NO EXPLANATION

DO I STUDY ENGLISH LANGUAGE? XDepending on your language level, you may take the 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-semester

IY1 program at the ISC or the 1- or 2-semester PMP program.

DO I STUDY ACADEMIC COURSES? XYou will take specialized academic courses that fully prepare you to enter your degree

program. There are academic credit courses for both IY1 and PMP students.

DO I GET ACADEMIC CREDIT FOR MY DEGREE? X
