2009-2010 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 2009-2010 are:

	Maine Resident	Non-Maine Resident	New England Regional Program*
Tuition	$7,712 per year	$16,128 per year	$11,616 per year
Mandatory Fees	$964 per year	$964 per year	$964 per year
Room & Board	$7,552 per year	$7,552 per year	$7,552 per year
TOTAL	$16,228 per year	$24,644 per year	$20,132 per year

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.)

Today’s Economy Challenges Conventional Thinking
Every family wants, and deserves, a high quality college education – but at a price they can truly afford. Today’s unforgiving economic climate makes that reality even more important.

Families are more aware of the variety of college options out there and most are re-examining the range of college choices and options: an in-state school vs. an out-of-state school; a private college vs. a state-supported college.

And what they’re finding at Farmington is that they get the best of both worlds: A nationally-recognized liberal arts college at a surprisingly affordable, state-supported price.

It’s true – a highly respected, high quality college education is still within your reach – at the University of Maine at Farmington.

Now more than ever, Farmington is an even smarter choice.

*New England Regional Program: Tuition Discounts for Non-Maine Residents

That's a savings of more than $4,500 per year!
