Why UMF for middle/secondary education?
UMF traces its history to 1864, when it became selected the first public institution in Maine dedicated to the preparation of teachers. The college has changed over the years, but UMF is still home to the best program in Maine for aspiring teachers. The UMF campus is marked by diversity in both its courses and its student body. Rated one of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S. News & World Report, UMF is one of the most competitive public liberal arts colleges in the Northeast. We draw students from all over Maine, New England, and beyond, including a thriving community of international students. UMF’s classes are generally small, but its opportunities are large. Our faculty are unusually informal and accessible, giving UMF the flavor of a small campus, but our affiliation with the seven-campus University of Maine System provides the resources of a large university. As a teacher of mathematics or computer science, you will help prepare students to meet the technical and personal challenge
