Honors College

The Honors College engages students in critical analysis of the foundations of our society, fosters global civic responsibility, and focuses on independent research by taking advantage of the resources of a great research university while providing a rigorous and unified approach to the liberal arts core. Small classes combined with the living-learning communities of Colvin, Estabrooke and Balentine Halls provide Honors students with an exemplary student-centered and community-engaged learning experience. The College continues to innovate, build capacity, create partnerships, and enhance the lives of Maine’s future leaders in business, science, engineering, education, and the arts.
