Welcome to the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI). Since 1903, our mission has been to provide exceptional experiences for learners of all ages to become informed leaders, engaged citizens, and prepared professionals.  

Over the past several years, we have experienced significant enrollment increases in multiple demographic areas, developed vital new workforce-focused programming, and enhanced our partnerships with business, nonprofits, and educational organizations, from high schools to community colleges, in Aroostook County and beyond.  Also, we are pleased to be New England’s first public university to offer fully accredited competency-based programming for today’s working learners, a vital component of meeting Maine’s goal of providing a qualified, engaged workforce to help ensure a vibrant future for Maine.

At UMPI, we believe that ensuring an inclusive, dynamic campus culture is essential to our success. We work to ensure that employees are able to achieve their full potential through maintaining a culture of continuous improvement. We must all have the opportunity to be active and engaged colleagues and leaders—from serving on task forces and committees, to receiving professional development and advancement. For only through our shared success can we collectively achieve our vision of delivering an affordable and accessible education with an innovative spirit and commitment to excellence.
