At the University of Maine, we are focused on student learning. In our more than 3,200 course sections this fall, we are engaging students where they are — and wherever they are, whether on campus for in-person classes or remote, a hybrid of the two or fully online. Our talented, world-class faculty have developed courses that have distinctive enrichment aspects to achieve learning outcomes, reach students and demonstrate best practices.
