A Tremendous College Value
Farmington is the state-supported version of a traditional, residential, private liberal arts college. With enrollment limited to just 2,000 students, we’re about the same size as many of New England's most selective private colleges and offer many of the same advantages, yet at a very attractive price point — providing a tremendous college education value.

2007-2008 Tuition, Fees, Room & Board
Based on a typical full-time load of 32 credits per year, a double room, and a 19-meals per week dining plan, the annual expenses for the academic year 2007-2008 are:

  Maine Resident Non-Maine Resident New England
Regional Program*
Tuition $6,528 $14,208 $10,048
Mandatory Fees $814 $814 $814
Room & Board $6,722 $6,722 $6,722
TOTAL $14,064 $21,744 $17,584

Remember: When comparing colleges and their costs, be sure to look at tuition, room & board, and mandatory fees. Mandatory fees are just that — mandatory — which means in addition to tuition. (Not all schools include their mandatory fess in their published annual costs / expenses as we do, above.)

*New England Regional Program:
Tuition Discounts for Out-of-State Residents

If you are admitted from another New England state into a University of Maine Farmington program major that is not offered by the public institutions in your home state, you may be eligible for reduced tuition.

That's a value of more than $4,000 per year!

Through the New England Regional Program, students from other New England states and Canada can apply for certain academic programs at UMF and pay reduced tuition. The academic programs that qualify for this vary by state.

The University reserves the right, up to the date of final registration for a given academic term, to make such adjustments as may be deemed necessary by the University of Maine System Board of Trustees.
