Our Mission

As Maine’s research university and the flagship campus of the Â鶹´«Ã½ System, we have a world-class faculty made up of scholar-teachers dedicated to creating new knowledge, challenging students, and serving the state by working with individuals, businesses, cultural centers and communities.

The Provost’s Office supports all of these activities.
