  • Prepare for a fulfilling, flexible career. You will learn core skills that translate to a job in any business or organization anywhere in the world.

The Maine Business School’s undergraduate programs are built on a strong core curriculum that develops well-rounded business professionals.

This shared foundation helps students develop critical thinking, communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills valued across industries. Combined with hands-on learning opportunities, internships, and engagement with industry partners, the Maine Business School prepares graduates to navigate a rapidly changing business landscape and make an immediate impact in their careers.

Testimonies

“My son wasn’t very excited to get up early on his vacation to attend this 4-hour event, but by the end of the tour, he was excited to tell his grandparents all about it. In fact, he put on the UMaine Business sweatshirt that was given to him, greeted his grandparents, and handed them his UMaine Networking Cards! He also left the tour having a better grasp of what he wants to study in the fall.”

“I think overall, this event really helped me lean towards UMaine. I walked in on Friday, using it as a day to somewhat finally convince myself that the school was not for me, and it, in fact, did the opposite. I immediately fell in love with it. One thing that I think really got my attention over other schools’ programs is your emphasis on networking with real business leaders. That is something that other schools mentioned but had not put as much effort into.”
