Higher Education

We are nestled along the Canadian border in the St. John Valley. This location creates a unique learning space for people seeking a rural, yet high-tech scholastic atmosphere combined with an eclectic mix of rugged outdoor vistas, world-class sports opportunities, and access to cosmopolitan epicenters across two countries.Students who attend UMFK, whether they are residents on campus or online students, discover the return for the time they have invested is far more than simply acquiring the knowledge and skills they need to achieve their goals. The faculty and staff of the university provide one-on-one support that, in addition to helping our students achieve success and overcome obstacles, help our graduates create a work ethic that they can be proud of. And we do it without breaking the bank! UMFK has earned numerous accolades from prestigious organizations, such as the Princeton Review and U.S. World News & Report, which identify us as one of the most affordable universities in New England.With multiple National Championships in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association, top athletes attend UMFK from around the world to participate in its renowned sports programs. Others come to this region and find they have the opportunity to participate in outdoor recreation, from cross-country running and wilderness camping to the international sport of biathlon.Yet the college experience is more than gaining a diploma from a university with a prestigious reputation for hard-working graduates. Students have a need to explore the world, and UMFK is a comfortable base from which to gain urban experiences in international metropolises. A couple of hours west of Fort Kent is Quebec City while Bangor and coastal Maine are south. Students from UMFK, which has a higher percentage of international students than any other university in New England, immerse themselves in a cultural opportunity that is unique in the world.
