We are the size of a great liberal arts college with the career offerings of a large university. And, if you love the outdoors and the comfort and safety of small town life, you'll feel right at home. New England is renowned as the higher education heart of the world. It has eminent private universities, superb liberal arts colleges, and impressive public university systems that offer something for every educational need. The University of Maine at Presque Isle is a century-old public university in a city of 10,000. Presque Isle is located in the heart of the largest county east of the Mississippi River—Aroostook County—"The County" to those who know her. The school's carefully designed liberal education program offers a superb learning experience taught by teachers and mentors who know you, challenge you, and care for you. Classes are small and taught by professors, not teaching assistants. The university also has a strong selection of professional programs that prepare you directly for the work force. Are you interested in a career in elementary and secondary education, business, social work, athletic training and outdoor recreation, or criminal justice? UMPI can take you from freshman to young professional-whatever your age!
