AcademicsWhere You Learn
IN THE CLASSROOM:
Our classes are small (average class size is 14), active, & engaged.
IN THE FIELD FOR RESEARCH:UMPI students work alongside faculty scientists on cutting-edge research, often traveling to & participating in professional conferences.
I never imagined I’d be doing this level of research during my
freshman year. I’ve been working on a project that identifies and
compares genes in pathogens that are resistant to antibiotics. It’s
exciting to know that this research will have a direct impact in the
world of antibiotic health.”
LYDIA TILLEY ’20MEDICAL L ABORATORY TECHNOLOGY & BIOLOGY MAJOR
IN THE COMMUNITY WITH INTERNSHIPS & PROJECTSYour UMPI education will introduce you to the professional community — to develop skills & establish connections.

From my first day at UMPI, everything clicked. I felt relaxed, so I
opened up. That has a lot to do with the professors. They make
you want to contribute. They make you feel safe and supported.”

See Your Future, the Way It Should Be
Before I finished my degree, I was hired as a long-term substitute
teacher at a school in my hometown. UMPI was great! They helped me
work it out so I could take the job and complete my student teaching at
the same time.”
ELISHA FARLEY ’18ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR
I was introduced to the field of Glacial Geology at UMPI and that sent
me down my path. My advisor connected me to a summer research
opportunity in Mongolia and now I’m getting my Master’s in Glacial
Geology. UMPI has amazing research opportunities and faculty — they
help students get out in the field and build real experience.”
