Unity students in the lab

Welcome to Admissions

               

  

Hello, nature lovers! Unity College is the place for you. We’re a rugged bunch; we feel right at home outdoors. Our friendly community offers you the individual attention that leads to your success. You’ll learn and grow in a small college atmosphere and a distinctly rural setting. Unity works together—students, faculty, and staff—in and out of the classroom.

And you should see some of our classrooms... Like Unity Pond, Mount Katahdin, and Penobscot Bay. Or the on campus eco- ottage, community garden, woodlot, and trail system. When we say "outdoors" we mean it. You may team up with Maine state  iologists for their black bear study in wildlife biology. Or you might join a marine biology class examining organisms in Atlantic coast tide pools. Adventure therapy majors help with Special Olympics events in our nearby mountains, while environmental writing majors write and share their stories with elementary students.

Unity professors often open their homes to lead study groups or host dinners. You’ll want to join them on our nature trails to watch birds—even at 10 below zero! Then, listen to our faculty-staff band at the semester-end beach party, or give back to the local community through our annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser—your pottery class created the ceramic soup bowls! It’s the Unity way of finding common ground, laughing together, learning together.

We bring experience to life. Your Unity education puts you on a career path where you won’t be stuck behind a desk all day to share your passion for nature. It’s your first step toward working with zoos, aquariums, wilderness recreation organizations, wildlife refuges, nature education centers, adventure education organizations, research institutes, aquaculture associations, and non-profit organizations.

You can make that happen at Unity College. Pack your notebook, lace up your hiking boots, and follow your dreams.
