About UNE
About UNE
The University of New England (UNE) is Maine's largest private university with campuses on the beach in Biddeford, in the city of Portland, and internationally in Morocco—the only U.S. university located there; UNE also has more than 4,000 feet of shoreline and a private island that serves as a living laboratory.Â
UNE is Northern New England’s only dental college and the state's only medical school and physician’s assistant program, as well as its top college for increasing career earnings. UNE was recently named a “Best College” by Princeton Review, among many other national titles.
While most well known for its health and science programs, UNE is also a wonderful place for those pursuing business, education, social work, and many other fields. A full list of more than 90 programs offered is available at the link below.
