Background
Overview
Established in 1968, the University of Maine System (UMS) unites six distinctive
public universities, comprising 10 campuses and numerous centers, in the
common purpose of providing quality higher education while delivering on its
traditional tripartite mission of teaching, research, and public service.
A comprehensive public institution of higher education, UMS serves more than
30,000 students annually and is supported by the efforts of more than 2,000 full-
time and part-time faculty, more than 3,000 regular full-time and part-time staff,
and a complement of part-time temporary (adjunct) faculty.
Reaching more than 500,000 people annually through educational and cultural
offerings, the University of Maine System also benefits from more than two-thirds
of its alumni population residing within the state; more than 123,000 individuals.
The System consists of six universities: The University of Maine (UMaine),
including its regional campus the University of Maine at Machias (UMM); the
University of Maine at Augusta (UMA); the University of Maine at Farmington
(UMF); the University of Maine at Fort Kent (UMFK), the University of Maine at
Presque Isle (UMPI); and the University of Southern Maine (USM). The System
also includes the University of Maine School of Law and the University of Maine
Graduate and Professional Center.

Reflecting the community it serves, USM has become known as “the University of
Everyone,” welcoming a diverse mix of ages, backgrounds and income levels to
our 8,000 plus student body. Ranging from traditional high school graduates to
adults completing their degree, from high achievers to those who may not have
seen a college education in their future, from new Mainers to veterans who have
served our nation, the University of Southern Maine supports their academic
pursuits and encourages their advancement.
University of Maine School of Law
The University of Maine School of Law is the state’s public and only law school, a
vital resource serving our local, regional, national, and global community. Maine
Law is an institutional public servant committed to providing an accessible and
affordable student-focused program of legal education and achieving the highest
standards of ethical behavior. Our rigorous doctrinal and experiential curriculum,
influential scholarship, and signature programming prepare students to practice
law, promote respect for the rule of law, and advance justice for all members of
society.
University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center
Located in Portland but serving students and employers statewide, the University
of Maine Graduate and Professional Center (the Maine Center) brings together
academic programs in law, business, and public policy to train the workforce of the
future and grow Maine’s economy. The Maine Center is an academic consortium
composed of the University of Maine School of Law, the University of Maine
Graduate School of Business, the graduate programs of the Muskie School of
Public Service, and the Cutler Institute of Health and Social Policy. This consortium
develops cross-disciplinary, experiential, and market-driven programming for
graduate students in the Maine Center’s three focus areas. The Maine Center also
delivers programming for members of Maine’s civic, business, and legal
communities, including executive education, certificates, workshops, externship
placements, and a startup incubator/accelerator. The Maine Center is supported
