Unity College exists for the student whose love of the outdoors is reflected
in their education and career choices. Unity college students typically place
a premium on jobs that do not require sitting behind a desk! An education at
Unity can be your first step to a position with a biological research center,
state park, wildlife refuge, nature education center, or wilderness recreation
organization.
We have 240-acres of fields and woodlands overlooking Unity Pond and the village of Unity (pop 1,899).
Unity College is a small, private college in rural Maine that provides dedicated, engaged students with a liberal arts education that emphasizes the environment and natural resources.
