Every University of Maine degree is built on a solid foundation of courses in the liberal arts and sciences, which is why the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is so central to the UMaine experience. Here, students develop and refine the qualities they need to more fully engage with the world around them — critical thinking, curiosity, a sense of discovery, a broader perspective — no matter what discipline they choose.

Life gets off to a rough start for babies born to drug-dependent women, even when their mothers’ addiction is clinically managed during pregnancy with methadone or other therapeutic replacement drugs. Born with their own chemical dependency, approximately 70 percent of these babies spend weeks in intensive care being treated for a cluster of unpleasant and dangerous symptoms of opiate withdrawal known collectively as Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, or NAS.
