Some differences between my first college and UMF? Here, it’s super-easy to get involved in things, you can do so much — even if it’s brand new to you. So, I take a dance cardio class at the Fitness Center and I’m totally out of my element but I absolutely love it. I never miss a class.

Attending a Maine Community College?

The Maine Community College System and the University of Maine System, which includes UMF, have established a Reverse Credit Transfer agreement that allows you to earn an Associate degree or Certificate at your Community College by combining credits from a UMaine System University with credits you previously earned from your Community College.

This means you can transfer to UMF before completing your Maine Community College Associate degree or Certificate — your UMF credits will satisfy your Associate degree or Certificate requirements.

Just complete and submit the Reverse Credit Transfer Form (pdf)

Contact Isaac Seigle, below, for more information or assistance filling out the form.

UMF Early Childhood Ed Program — at SMCC

Farmington partners with Southern Maine Community College, offering a UMF Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education — on the SMCC campus.

This is a great option for SMCC students who want a UMF Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Ed without having to travel to or move to Farmington — you take your UMF coursework at SMCC.

Contact Isaac Seigle, below for details.


Want to Transfer into our Teacher Education programs? It’s easy.

We know many of you want to transfer to UMF for our outstanding Teacher Education programs, so we’ve streamlined the process to make it even easier and more personalized.


We truly value Transfer students like you.

We appreciate the wisdom and different perspectives you bring to our campus. You’ve experienced someplace else and you had the courage and conviction to know you know what you want … and what you don’t want. That’s bold. Gutsy. Independent. And we like that. 

Farmington has always welcomed students from other colleges who seek to join our campus community. We have a lot of Transfer students here, so you’ll fit right in. And it has been our experience that Transfers to Farmington has been among our strongest, most motivated and successful students. Like them, you’ll do great things here.

At Farmington, we major in personal attention.

We understand that at large universities you can sometimes feel like you’re treated like a number, that you’re an anonymous face in a vast sea of other people. Enormous lecture halls, mobs of people, professors who don’t even know your name. (We hear this from students who transfer here from big schools.)

We’re the alternative to a big, impersonal school. Here, you’ll get to know everyone and everyone will get to know you.

Thirty+ majors. A national reputation. Internship opportunities. A friendly, close-knit campus. All at an affordable price. Here, it’s all About YOU.

The University of Maine at Farmington is a small, friendly, close-knit campus where students are the center of the universe. Our small classes (the average class size is just 18 students) are taught by caring, dedicated professors. Though many of our faculty members are nationally recognized experts in their fields, they have a passion for teaching and also take the time to get to know their students.

Sharing ideas, debating issues, collaborating with students on a research project, holding office hours to review a term paper, or helping with a tricky assignment, our professors will become an active part of your life. And some will even become treasured lifelong mentors. This doesn’t happen at all schools, but it IS part of The Farmington Way.
